It's going to be a nagging thing. Steven had it some last year, too. He just seems to always get hit on the same place on his arm, like a magnet. |
It's important for us to protect home. I know I say that a lot, but it is important. We have 14 (SEC) games left, but this is the most important one. |
It's important we bring our A-game (tonight). |
It's just maturity. Those two players have had a great relationship, but they're learning how to complement each other. It makes both of them better, and we want to ride that horse a while longer. |
It's just one of those games that it's hard to get out of your mind. More importantly, for 40 minutes we were focused on Auburn and we didn't worry about that. |
It's not going to be easy. They're a very good basketball team, got a lot of discipline. ... But I'm not sure, at the same time, they've really faced — especially in the last 14 games in their league — the kind of length, the kind of speed and quickness that we have. |
It's scary because he moves around well, he's got great hands and great feet and he's doing a lot of things because Bass isn't there anymore. More things are happening for Davis and he's responding. |
Kentucky is definitely starting to play at the level we all expected. A lot of it has to do with Randolph being more in sync with his teammates and them with him. You can see they playing with more confidence and playing the kind of basketball Kentucky is known for. |
Kentucky is starting to play at the level everyone thought that they could play. |
Last year I thought there was clearly separation after North Carolina and Illinois. It wouldn't surprise me (if all the top seeds exited before the Final Four). |
Let me emphatically state that no inducements or improper offers have ever been done to any recruit at the University of Arkansas. I believe the source of the claim has a lack of credibility, and I believe it was intentionally done to harm our program. |
Maybe three or four years ago (eight wins) was the plateau and then maybe three or four years ago the Big East had some teams at 9-7 that didn't get in. Since then, I think there has been a little insecurity. |
McNaughton is a handful. I've got one of the best defensive centers in the country and I hope he doesn't get in any kind of foul trouble. He relishes shutting someone down. He's going to make McNaughton earn every basket. We don't want him to shoot a high percentage -- that's our goal. |
McNaughton is a handful. Steven is going to have to make him earn everything. He's going to have to do a good job of making him work to get his points. |
Obviously, I'm real happy, and my family and I are appreciative for the extension, ... I'm thankful to Coach [Broyles] and the University of Arkansas for the commitment to the program. It hasn't been a major thing on my mind. I've been more concerned with making improvements and adjustments for the upcoming season. |
