I think he really set a tone for this team as far as leadership for the future. And what he said those 10 minutes, I'll never forget as long as I live. |
I thought Moses and Brett were terrific. They're guys who haven't played much, but they gave us some execution and energy and got us back in the game. |
I thought we looked very fatigued against Mississippi State and kind of hit the wall. |
I told people when we scheduled this game that (Winthrop) would be one of the best teams we would have played - and they were. They're tough and they don't care where they go - and most people won't play them. I don't know why I did. |
I was laying back in the training room with the doors shut, lights off, sweating. It's hard, you want to be out there, you want to be part of it, out there with the players. |
I was proud of the way we battled. We just have a hard time manufacturing points. That's going to be a big issue for all all season. |
I'm proud of Ronny -- he's had a terrific season for us. It was hard. A lot of the guys he came in with had graduated and he decided to be with guys he didn't know. |
I'm proud of the way the team has grown up and played. You saw a team that didn't look like an SEC team in weight and size, but looked like one in heart. |
I've never coached a game where we had 71 points off the bench. That's a load, and two freshmen leading the way is impressive. |
If we go down there with our head between our tails, it could get real ugly real fast. It was a hard thing to take, a frustrating thing to take. We have to move on from that. |
In college basketball it's just difficult to win in somebody's backyard, especially at Arkansas where they seem to play three notches better at home. Most people play better at home, but they are one of the exceptions, I think, in the country that play so much better at home than on the road. |
It helps, no doubt about it. We still have areas we struggle in, but it helps to have a win. When we study film, there's a different look in their eye after a win. |
It was a huge win for us. I told people when I scheduled this game that they would be one of the best teams we played at our place, and they were. We battled to the end. |
It was big for our confidence, and everybody contributed. We didn't really have one guy that had to pick up the slack. We had a lot of guys pick up the slack. |
It was pretty typical of the games we've had. We had a 10-minute stretch where we had a meltdown. |
