We need him late in the game. |
We need someone to take the pressure off Marcus. |
We played a magnificent second half. I can't think of a game this year that we shared the ball so well, ran so well. [Kelly] Whitney said in the paper ... kids say things ... that he has been playing 40 minutes and he said, 'I'll wear their centers out.' We told our kids that, obviously. That's what we do. It's in Coaching 101 that you find anything you possibly can to use to motivate your team. |
We played them twice this year and on both of those occasions we were able to physically dominate them inside. We did a tremendous job last Saturday, won by 18 points and dominated them again. They turned the tide on us tonight. They physically dominated us in every aspect of the game. |
We really caught them off guard. I can see it on the tape that they just didn't expect us to be as good as we were. |
We really played our best basketball. It was one of the few games I can say you could just enjoy. It was just really a tremendous basketball game for us and hopefully it's a peek into what we're capable of. Seasons are really funny. But I think those things are good. We jump right now into a hot stove. |
We revised our scouting report on Kentucky because of the way Perry played. This will be one of the few times where we face a team that has the size up front that we do. |
We shrunk ourselves down to make ourselves better. |
We still have a chance to have a special season, there's no question in my mind. In order for us to finish up the season the way we have to, we have to eliminate some of those inconsistent moments, because pretty soon every game becomes important, and if you have an inconsistent game, you go home. |
We thought he was stiffening up. I was happy with his play. He did a nice job for us. |
We thought Louisville was getting better. Little did I know that they were playing that much better. … They were well-prepared for us. They were in a mind-set, and that comes from Rick. Not many teams in the country could have beaten Louisville today. It was no fluke. They didn't shoot it particularly well, but Palacios was just magnificent and is really blossoming. |
We turned the ball over 26 times yet I think our heart was shown on enough occasions. When you're down 10 points or down seven points with something to go, you need to call upon the reserves. There's something inside you that won't let you lose. |
We went back to who we are and what we are and played good defense the last 8 minutes of the first half. Rudy Gay stepped up when he needed to and our inside game is starting to come around. |
We went through the motions like we're thinking we're big time. We could have been blown out of the building. |
We went to see 'Glory Road' the other night and it was a great film. |
