I don't know if it is. Strike that. It was certainly one of the biggest victories in front of the most people. |
I don't remember the last few days. I don't remember traveling to Lexington. I don't even remember traveling home. I remember the game. ... That is the best we've played. |
I don't think anybody is scared of our half-court defense. When you get ready to play Tennessee, you can say lots of different things about how they might beat you, but our half-court defense isn't one of them. |
I don't think the ranking is going to mean anything to the coaches and the players as it relates to this team. It's just what it could mean at the end of the year and what it could mean in recruiting and what it could mean in fan support. |
I don't want to see that tape. I think I looked bad. I tried to catch him, and he blew me over. I didn't wrap up. It would have been a terrible tackle. Chavis would have substituted for me right away. |
I have learned that these guys want to win. They have been very willing to adapt and play unselfishly. |
I have to believe they liked Coach Mears. He had the teams and the gumption to compete with Kentucky. Like fighters, there is respect for each other. |
I hope if Kentucky ever becomes irritated with me, it's because my team is good enough to compete with them. |
I just think the opportunity to be on the road to the Final Four, to have the opportunity to be there for one shining moment, those are all the things we've got to push. We've got to try to get our identity back and playing a team out of conference that's not played us for the second or third time will be a positive. Ready or not, here it comes. |
I love his passion and his energy. He's a one-man press. You talk about the one-two-one-one, he's just the one in front of that press with his length. He compares favorably with a lot of the big men in this league. |
I played C.J. Watson too many minutes, and also Chris Lofton and Andre Patterson. I did not keep them fresh enough to make plays down the stretch. We did not turn Arkansas over a lot. It takes energy to create offense or defense, and we needed more energy. |
I promise you I'll cherish that win for the rest of my life, but not right now because of what's next. |
I see a lot of similarities between the ones and twos and between the threes and fours. |
I sweat sweet. It's not a stinky sweat. |
I sweat sweet. It's pretty. My son (Michael) sweats stinky, but I don't. |
