There was some fatigue, but I've got to fight through it. It's all about getting back into the rhythm of things. |
There's no question I've played my best down the stretch of the season. As a freshman I was very up and down. I think I'm just more comfortable, more consistent. I feel like there are more things I can do to help the team now. |
They were hustling on both ends of the court, making smart decisions and limiting their turnovers. Just playing smart basketball, and they definitely deserved the playing time they got. |
They were just dominating the boards, there's not much you can say about that. They were just getting after it. |
This is still Kentucky basketball. Not in the sense we're expected to win, but we have great tradition and we have great players still here. We can go 11 players deep and on any given night, any player can step up and produce. That makes us much more dangerous. |
This is the most important game for me to play in all year. I can't foul, I can't make dumb decisions on defense. It's definitely going to be one of the most important games of my career. |
We definitely could have stopped them, but the fact is that we didn't. We didn't play defense to stop them. That's probably how we let it slip away. |
We definitely need to win one of the next two. We can't afford to lose any more. |
We didn't execute on defense, and they exposed our weaknesses. |
We didn't play a lick of defense. We couldn't stop them. |
We got away from what was effective for us. In the first half we made the extra pass and hit the open man. We didn't play as a team in the second half. |
We got to the point we were executing to perfection. It was a pretty neat thing to be a part of. |
We need every single win from now on. We cannot lose a game. |
We played extremely well defensively, and that's what we had to do down the stretch. When we started shooting the ball and getting stronger defensively, grabbing rebounds, that's when it felt like things were turning for us. |
We were just looking for a way to get back in the game emotionally, get energized. That's all we focused on at halftime. |
