It's been a unique and special group of kids. What's been special about this group is that they've played the same way all season, from back in November when we played in New York City to now. |
It's early, but it looks as though Tennessee is a very good offensive team. I've always felt like they've had talent. Major Wingate and Andre Patterson are improved offensive players. They are a team that likes to play in transition, like us. Both teams are going to get up and down the floor and do what they like to do. |
It's going to be a difficult road challenge for us because of the different problems they present us. |
It's good to see him do well because he was non-existent at South Carolina. He's having a phenomenal year. I'm hoping he can continue to evolve and move forward. We missed his rebounding last game, but he did a terrific job on both ends of the floor today. It's good to see him learning. |

It's great for our kids and for our program. But I'm just a small part of it. |
It's great to be able to move on and advance. I feel bad for these kids that the past [woes] had to be brought back up to them [all the time]. Some of them weren't even here, some of they weren't even playing. |
It's hard to say right now who's going to emerge and who's going to play well. |
It's hard to win a road game when it's 42-20 at the free throw line. It really disrupted our flow and made us stagnant in our offense. |
It's hard to win on the road when it's 42 to 20 on the free-throw line. |
It's hard to win on the road when it's 42-20 (Arkansas' favor) in free throws shot. That's a big discrepancy. But Arkansas made only 5 of 12 free throws in the first half and that kept us in it. |
It's hard when you lose. We have highly competitive guys. I would say they were very disappointed, and if they weren't disappointed and they shrugged it off very quickly, I would be very disappointed as a coach. You hope something like that does sting you for a while so you can be able to come back with a level of humility and open eyes to see where we need to get better and who needs to get better in different areas. |
It's nice to do something that hasn't been done in 21 years. But it does not move you any closer to the goals you have. |
It's not a high ankle sprain, which is a positive. |
It's not about just getting to the NBA with these guys. It's about making an impact. This is their decision. |
