We understand there's been a lot of discussion about whether we deserved a No. 2 seed. We had an unbelievable regular season. We've got to find the hunger once again to prove to people that we're deserving, and continue to bring honor to Tennessee basketball. |
We wanted to become the dangerous team we know we are. We still have to be that team that nobody wants to play. We're smaller, we pressure, we shoot the three-ball. The last couple of games, it hasn't been that way. |
We will win more championships during my time here. |
We will win more championships during my time here. We've won championships in the past. This one is going to be significant and it's going to be special because it was so unexpected and accomplished with a lot of obstacles and a lot to overcome. That said that's about all the reflecting I'm going to do on it because we have a lot of basketball to play. |
We'll be back. I'm very, very proud of these young men. I can't tell you how many people have written or called and said how much they enjoyed this basketball team. This Tennessee basketball team will go down as one of the all-time best, and this was the group that got it started. |

We'll look at it again when we get started and see where he is. It really depends on him. |
We're better than I thought. We're 16-3 and in first place right now. Who could've anticipated the attendance being what it is and the support we're receiving? |
We're going to be in close games all the time down the stretch. We're not going to run anybody off the floor. |
We're not communicating. We're capable of defending better. I call it having a sense of urgency. You need it this part of the season. |
We're not playing our best basketball right now and haven't been. I think that for the first time the confidence has to be shook a little bit. |
We're tied with LSU. You just don't know when you'll get this close again, and you want to take advantage of it. |
We're very excited about playing in that atmosphere. |
We've been beat by two pretty good teams that are going to be in the NCAA tournament. We've got to play better to earn respect. We haven't done nearly enough to do that. |
We've come from behind three times from 9 points or more, so we know we can come from behind. We're not going to physically overwhelm people, we're just not. We've got to wear them down. |
