(South Carolina) was the aggressor most of the game. |
(The NCAA) has a right to check into any rumors they want. We've been here for 16 years and have never had a problem with anything. |
[Roberts] wasn't practicing for three weeks. That hampered him enough. And now he's trying to play with a mask, too? Those two things combined, there's no question they hurt him. But nine points and 12 rebounds, for a guy who hadn't done anything -- that's not bad. |
Any time you play Kentucky it's never easy. They are coming off a big win and are playing with a lot of confidence. They've won a couple in a row and they know that we are struggling right now. But it is always tough playing Kentucky. |
Arkansas will have a lot of emotion on Senior Night, so we better have some poise. |
Both young men are good people, but unfortunately things just didn't work out for them here. We wish them both well in their future endeavors. |
Bruce has done a tremendous job with this basketball team. I don't think anybody expected them to be where they are right now. |
Even though we hadn't won, we've gotten better. We all understood we had some deficiencies in some areas. We understand we had to battle. We've gotten better. Tonight, we took another step. |
For the first time all year long, that team whipped us. |
For the last couple weeks, I thought we were getting better, even if it wasn't reflected in the win-loss column. We put a total game together tonight, both offensively and defensively. We needed our bench to play, because Ole Miss plays a lot of guys. We had a special effort. |
For the most part, we couldn't have done a better job on Steele. |
Georgia plays hard and has a lot of perimeter depth. They have a lot of big bodies on the inside, and they've been in most games everywhere they've played. |
Gordon gives you everything he's got. |
He brings the same attitude every day. Everything you'd want in a player from a mental standpoint, he has it. |
He had to play into this role. There's a lot of responsibility that comes with (it). Your best player needs to be your hardest worker. Once he realized that, he's been more consistent. |
