We had an opportunity to win the game, we really did. We just didn't get it done. |
We had what we wanted. I don't know what happened; he just lost the ball off his foot. |
We have been in worse situations than this. But we're prepared to play on the road. |
We lost Carols Powell and we have no one to fill his spot. We don't have anyone to assume the sole role of leadership that he had. But collectively, I think we do. I think we have enough on the board to make up for that difference. |
We make no apologies about being here. We look at it as a special opportunity and we're excited about it. |
We needed a shakeup; we needed a change; we needed a different slant. I thought our team had a chance to win the game. I really did. |
We obviously took some 3s, no question about that. Probably no more than we should have, but we didn't feel our inside game was going very well today. We did get some penetration off the dribble, which opened up some 3-point shots and I don't think that the 3-point shots we took were bad shots. We just didn't make enough of them. |
We played that game like it was a TV game and we didn't want to lose any (viewers). |
We realized we were playing a team that was missing one of its best players. That certainly messed up their offensive cohesion. |
We sent an evaluation form in and we'll see what the NBA general managers say. I think what he can do very well is readily seen. |
We shot the ball well at Kentucky, the team rose to the occasion. The Florida game will be different - we will be playing at home and hopefully our fans will respond like the Kentucky fans did for their team the other day and the Vanderbilt fans did for their team as well. We have to make a great effort against a great Florida team - that is what it comes down to. |
We stood up to the challenge. We played very well. We did not play well enough to win. |
We want to make this night as special for B.J. and his family as it is for the fans. |
We were able to build a lead and maintain it for most of the second half. Towards the end of the half, our ball-handling and turnover woes came back to us. |
We were only down six points with about 3 minutes on the clock and then gave in with a rash of errors at the end. Anybody who saw the game knows it was not a 16-point game, but still we go home with that on our docket. |
