It's much easier at home to be able to find that poise that you have to play with. On the road, it has to be something from within to keep that composure and toughness. At home, you have a much better chance of recovering from a deficit. |
It's obvious, you can't turn the basketball over as much as we did and beat a quality team like LSU. |
It's tough to go on the road and not make your free throws and have unforced turnovers. Our margin of error is too small for that to happen. |
It's very obvious that we're not quite as good without Lawrence Roberts. But we knew coming into this game that we didn't have him, so we can't make any excuse. |
Lawrence has a chance to be the national player of the year, and with that comes another degree of responsibility. He's not naturally a vocal guy. He has to step up and become a vocal leader, and lead by example every day. |
LSU is the team to beat in the entire SEC, not just in the West. ... As long as they stay healthy and avoid an injury, they're as good as anybody around. |
Now at least they have ranked [UF] up to second. And that's not to put any pressure on Billy. He's got a tremendous basketball team. |
Our kids understand. They know where we're at. We've got three home games left, and two games on the road. We're just trying to fight to get better. They're fighting for their lives every game. |
Our team is not very good right now. It's been one thing after another with us. There's no magical speeches after that game. |
Our teams will turn it over. You just hope they don't lead to baskets. |
Reggie needs to not always look for the 3-pointer. He's got to play off that dribble, take it to the hole, which he's done more lately. A mid-range game opens up the 3-point shot. It makes him a more versatile player. And he needs to be a screener, because screeners get open. But it's getting better. |
Rod's done a good job with this team. They're much improved. |
South Carolina is the one team that really thumped us. No question, we'll play a lot better than the first time we played them. |
South Carolina's the one team that probably handled us easier than anybody all year long. They took it to us in Columbia three weeks ago. They're a very experienced team. We've got to be ready. |
That was huge. Richard had a little bit of his swagger back tonight. |
