I think we have something that is unique. |
I think we kind of quit playing to win and (started) playing not to lose. We had it going. We just didn't finish it off. It's a game we let go. |
I think we were able to work through Tyrus Thomas' injury, but it's time now for us to get back whole and get a couple of good days of practice. |
I think we're similar defensively. |
I thought if we could go into Arkansas to begin the [SEC] season and win in Fayetteville, which we were able to do, the schedule favored us. |
I thought it was about to be a lay-up. I don't know if he lost his balance or what. When that play happened, the momentum kind of swung the other way. |
I thought our team was a little casual to start the game and didn't play with a lot of enthusiasm. Maybe they were looking back on the Ohio State game and anticipating what we're doing on Saturday. |
I thought our team was being who it is, outgoing, fun, but loving and serious when they need to be. From some of the backgrounds that our players are from, there's nothing wrong with letting out the emotion. |
I thought that was well as we could play, without Tyrus Thomas. |
I thought we had Steele defended OK until the last seven or eight minutes. |
I thought we had the game won on a couple of occasions. I don't think we played real smart down the stretch. We had some really careless turnovers uncharacteristic of how we've been playing. |
I thought, defensively, we were good enough to win the game. We had a lot of opportunities offensively and just missed some baskets we normally have made. |
I told them after the game that we were a Top 25 team and people just don't know it yet. And I really believed that because of the way we were playing with the youth that we had. |
I wanted to play a good team from a different region. It's a TV game. We played at Connecticut this year, and we're going to play them at our place next year. After this one, Washington is coming to our place. |
I was proud of our team for finding a way to win a game, on the road, and handle adversity. |
