It feels real good. A lot of our games have been one possession games. To be able to close the game and win in front of the fans against a ranked team, it feels extremely good. |
It was difficult trying to get around them. They were really big on cutting you off and screening hard. I still feel we played good defense. |
It's a big stage Sunday on CBS. I'm ready for it. We've struggled with Kentucky since I've been here. We're going to try and change that. |
It's a great feeling to actually hear your name called and see your name on the screen, but we've got to get focused and prepare ourselves for the task at hand. |
It's going to be a dogfight. It's always difficult at Ole Miss. |
LSU is a big rivalry. Something is always happening, but it's good basketball. The NCAA (tournament committee) has got to look at quality wins, so this is a must-win for us. |
Most basketball players don?t like sitting around, waiting all day. You kind of get anxious. You start thinking about the game too much. |
My fever went down a little bit. My stomach is not hurting as bad. I was knocking some shots down today so that helps my confidence. I haven't been shooting the ball particularly well, so any player who hasn't been shooting well when you knock some shots in practice, that's a good sign. |
Our fans are diehard fans. They're going to come out in numbers. |
Steven plays a big role for us inside. His defense is great and he takes up a lot of space when he blocks out so that it helps everyone on our team rebound. And he's got great timing for blocking shots. |
That's one thing that you can control. You can hustle on every play. We sat down and said we might lose these next couple of games but we're not going to get outworked by anybody. |
That's our next step to take and keep playing well. If we do that, we'll be fine, but we can't look past anyone. |
The SEC Tournament is important for our fans. |
The tournament is very open. People saw that we played a lot of people in the SEC, and when we did lose games, we didn't lose them bad -- like by one or two points. So, we were in every game. We have a lot of confidence going into this tournament. |
There was a lot of excitement. We were sluggish at the start and they got out to a big lead. We showed a lot of heart and character to come back. |
