Now, I think we set our standards a little too low. Now, we need to start maybe even reaching for higher things, like maybe getting a bye in the SEC Tournament and really focusing on taking each game as preparation for the postseason. |
Now, it's not like a joke, but in a sense, it's something that we laugh about and can't believe that's what we went through. |
On Saturday and Sunday we barely went through any offensive sets in practice. |
Rebounding is still something we need to focus on and improve on. More than anything, it's just that continual focus of boxing out. |
Since we do play a match-up you have to go make the extra effort to go and find a person to box out. It's not like you're playing man-to-man and there's a person right there to box out. |
Teams come in and see Tennessee on the jersey and fold. The game is over before it even starts. It's a matter of coming out and giving it everything you've got, and that's what we did. |
That's the reality of our season. |
The end is becoming a lot more real. It's one loss and your season is over. That puts a little fire in your butt. It's scary, but at the same time it's very exciting. |
The tougher team won (yesterday), and I feel 100 percent confident saying that. |
This is going to be one highlight of many. But right now, this is our biggest win. |
This is the best team I've played on. Mississippi State, although their record may not show it, they're a very talented team but still a team we should beat. I think this year we're definitely in position to make some noise at this tournament. |
Tonight sucked. Tonight was awful, to be honest. |
We beat two potential No. 1 seeds, and beat Tennessee on their home floor. That's huge. That was something we definitely focused on. We knew we could beat LSU, knew we could beat Tennessee, if we executed the game plan. |
We definitely don't want to look that far ahead but one of our goals coming into the season was to qualify (for the NCAA Tournament). Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Kentucky seem to be who we are competing with. |
We haven't had all the hype and we haven't had the McDonald's All-Americans and the All-Americans. But we have 12 people who have really played for each other day in and day out, and I think that is what has made us so successful and has put us in position to win games like LSU and Tennessee. |
