(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers). |
[The coaches] have been on me about stepping my game up. I have to do that. It's to the point that if we want to win I have to play at that level. |
After Matt and David and Peep left, we decided we were always going to have to stick together. It was going to be about us, it was about the team, it wasn't about one unique player. |
Against a team like this, you're going to get 10 or 15 blocks the way we play, but we know we're not going to do that against an SEC team, so it's just something that happens, I guess. |
All I know is that we kept coming at them. |
Beating Kentucky is very exciting for us, especially at Rupp Arena. We just wanted to come out and win. It's big for our program. |
Chances are great we'll all be back next year. We love it here. |
Coach did a good job of warning us that we had to come out and play hard. We either get better or we get worse. We think we got better. |
Each game he's getting better. You can see it out there. |
Everybody was really excited, but we all know what time it is. We all know that this is just the beginning. |
Everyone's showing us a lot of love. Everyone is pretty excited about what's going on right now. |
Guys are sagging so much in the lane, especially this team. They want you to shoot three's. You can't leave a guy like Lee Humphrey wide open like that and try to sag off, and we made them pay tonight. |
Having him play at this level of confidence is really big for our team. |
He was hurt so bad. A lot of other guys would have quit. |
He was hurt so bad. That's my guy, and I've really got a lot of love for him. A lot of other guys would have quit, but he didn't quit for us. He was going hard. |
