He's got a pretty good understanding of how to play, so he does some of those simple things that help your team go. ... He is very unselfish so he's good for keeping the offense moving and flowing. |
I can't exactly spot a trend. It goes game to game. Some players play a more prominent role in some games than others. |
I certainly don't believe we were being lazy in any part of the rebounding game. I just think they were very physical. |
I do feel a lot better about our defense than I do about (the Rebels' shooting percentage). I'm a little mystified by that number. I do know we turned them over a good bit and sometimes you can't do both. |
I don't know exactly what to say about what the prospect of David getting healthy is. |
I know we'll be improved, but I don't know how much improved and I don't want to put a cap on it either. We're excited about the possibilities. The possibilities are enormous, but the unknowns are enormous, too. |
I never had any doubt that the league would continue to be strong. I said that the league would be a little unpredictable, but I knew it would be strong because we have a lot of talent and good coaching. I never bought into that it would be a down year. |
I never had any doubt that the league would continue to be very, very strong. I said the league would be a little unpredictable, and it's playing out just that way, but I knew it'd be very strong because we have so much talent in the conference and such good coaching. I never bought into the idea that it'd be a down year. |
I really don't have any problem with (the rematch) part of the equation. They are a very, very good team that is playing their best basketball right now. We certainly know that better than anyone. |
I really don't have anything to say until I see it. I have no idea what you're talking about. |
I reminded him that he would be able to score if he just kept being aggressive and sharing the ball. We need our point guard to do that. The guys all said how much they appreciated all those dimes he was dropping out there. |
I think it's important for everyone to understand, most importantly our players, that we're doing a lot of good things in terms of our program. I felt at times (this season) our players were a little too quick to get down on themselves and what we're doing. |
I think Rhodes is the best low post player in the conference. So, we knew we had our hands full with him. |
I think that makes all the sense in the world. Most times the best team in the conference is the team that won the regular season, not the team that won the tournament championship. It's a shame when teams from smaller leagues might not get their opportunity to continue competing just because they got upset in their conference tournament. |
I think the SEC is very unpredictable this year. It's kind of wide open because some of the turnover in significant personnel. |
