Sean can help us with his shooting and Cyrus with his rebounding, and both can do other things. I'm just glad our freshmen can be our fifth, sixth or seventh options and not our first or second. |
Silly me. I probably should have had him in there more getting shots 70 feet away from the basket. |
Steele has been the best we've seen so far. If he had a Duke jersey on, he'd probably be in line for a (NBA) lottery pick. The kid does a little bit of everything. He can score, he can pass and he runs the team so well. |
Steven always guards the other team's best front-court player. He relishes that role. But he's got to defend without getting in foul trouble. |
Steven fell awkwardly and tweaked his back. He had a sharp pain. |
Steven has a humorous side to him that you wouldn't expect. I see more of it this season. Life is more normal for him in some ways. He's opening up slowly. |
Steven just kind of built a wall in there. |
Tennessee is a great team. They are having a special season. The key is it will be a battle of possessions. We have to make sure we don't turn it over too much and that we rebound. We have to go there like we're on a mission. |
That kid, if his team is in first place or on national TV all the time -- or if he's playing with a Duke uniform on -- they're talking about this kid being a lottery pick. That kid does it all. He plays for 40 minutes every single game and doesn't take possessions off. That's special. |
That might have been the whole thing right there, the incredible experience as well as the solid play and their savvy out on the court. It was like old men playing against young guys out there. They knew what they were doing. They never got rattled. They never got shaken. |
That was a big play. I remember it because it was right underneath our basket and he threw it out of there. I wish he could have kept it in play, but we'll take the block. |
That was a great play! To be able to get a stop and then Sean throws the ball up and it goes in. We've got momentum going into halftime and it puts a smile on our face. I thought it helped us by starting the second half getting another lead and extending it. |
That was an incredible shot by Mitchell. He stepped up and hit it with Charles Thomas' hand in his face. That was an incredible shot. |
That's kind of typical (for UK), that unexpected guy who steps up and plays well. |
That's when the game turned. |
