This is a difficult thing we're going through. We're not used to this. The kids can very easily get down, quit working and have attitudes, but this team didn't do it. We took a very good Ole Miss team tonight and did something to them that no one's done to them. |
This is a totally different team, so there is no reason to remember. This team was not part of that. That has nothing to do with us playing over there (tonight). |
Those kind of plays hurt, especially as youthful as we are. |
Those three guys have all made winning plays to help them win three games in a row. And those were games they could have all been beaten in. |
Urgency is the next game, and the next game was Ole Miss. If it had been somebody else, would we have played that hard? I don't know. But tonight, there was a special effort, and we had to have a special effort. |
We all understood how good George Mason is. For us to have a chance, it would take a special effort. We got a special effort. |
We had a guy who was dominant. The more responsibility we've put on (Rhodes), the more he's accepted. |
We hope we won't have to go to that third point guard (Slater) very often. |
We jumped out on a 16-0 run, but I thought it was our ability to defend, too. We turned it up a notch defensively in the second half. |
We know Auburn is similar to us in a lot of ways. They're so much better at home than on the road. At home, they seem to be able to be in the game. We know it'll be a difficult challenge for us. |
We left everything we possibly could on the floor. |
We lost the only advantage we had, which was ability to play small. We don't have another small guy to go score in transition. |
We never practice those shots he makes. |
We put a total game together on defense and offense. We guarded. We didn't get beat off the dribble, and we neutralized the post. |
We took it to them a little bit. We turned it up a notch defensively. |
