It was a really slow game. If it weren't for all of the second shots that Auburn had, it wouldn't have ended the way it did. |
It was nice of you to put the roster up here so I would remember who's playing for us. |
It's hard to get excited about a 6-foot-6, 190-pound guy who plays inside. |
It's never been done here. We have to eliminate the reasons it's never been done here. I know that we have to put an incredible effort into building the program into something special in all facets. It goes way beyond just coaching and playing. |
It's not like he's not still getting any quality looks in a game. |
It's very, very difficult to win a college basketball game, and this is a perfect example. There's no sure thing. Non-Division I teams are beating teams a lot more experienced than us. I'm just grateful that we survived. And we did a little better than survive. Down the stretch, we played with poise and were able to get the win. |
Levi had a tremendous game. His energy and his intensity were high. He played with a lot of passion. He inspired us with his play in the first half. |
Noah was just fantastic. He was obviously feeling really good, and he hit a lot from the line. |
Not many people come in here and win. There's a great presence, and they have tremendous fans, and then the building itself is so unique. I still can't get over this setup. I'm very proud of our players for playing with poise today. |
Obviously, we played better. We shared the ball very, very well. |
Our entire freshman class has added depth of talent to our team and our program. The biggest difference is that we have more players and more answers to put in the game. |
Our offensive execution was far ahead of our just making shots. Certainly we're still a group of sophomores and freshmen many times in terms of our execution, but our shot-making was more of a factor. You could see all the easy shots we missed at times, especially down the stretch. |
People get caught up in who's leaving rather than who's there. |
Steve has been unable to operate at the standards which we've set for Georgia basketball. I'm disappointed because I know what great benefit our program can be for a young man like Steve. But we wish him nothing but the best as he moves forward. |
That makes everybody on our team feel better. |
