The level of focus they needed to have wasn't there. I have to take responsibility for it, and we all have to take responsibility for it. |
The main piece [in the team's success] has been their willingness to remain extremely unselfish. These guys have shown when you play together as a team what can be accomplished. |
The main piece has been their willingness to remain extremely unselfish. When you get to be 17-0, you can think it's easy or that you've got it all figured out. They really remained humble. They wanted to get better. |
The one thing you've got to do with reading is it's something you've got to do every day. Anything you want to do in life, you've got to practice every day. |
The passion in the state of Florida is for football, and I'm OK with that. But the passion for the University of Florida is greater than football — it's greater than anything. |
The pressure was on him. |
The reason he shot it so far to the left was he never really got his left arm up and he shot it across his body. This is going to be another one to two weeks before he's back to probably feeling healthy. I would think that he would be available against South Carolina. How many minutes? What type of role? Will he be able to get back to his shooting form? I'm hopeful, but I'm not counting on that. |
The second half was a back-and-forth basketball game. Give Arkansas credit. They made some plays and their kids played hard and I thought it was a great college basketball game that both teams had a chance to win at times. |
The surgery went well, but what his status is for Sunday, I'm not really sure right now. |
The surgery went well. ... They don't think there's any type of concussion or anything like that, but where his status is for Sunday, I'm not really sure. |
The surgery went well. He wasn't at practice because he was dealing with so many things medically. . . . I'll probably have a better understanding maybe (today). |
The thing that gave me the most enjoyment on the bench is that I've never seen so many players at one time wanting to see him do it, wanting to see him grab a rebound or get an assist or score. I've never seen anything like that. |
The thing that's so shocking of his 37, he only took 14 shots. He got to the free-throw line tonight. That was the difference. |
The three-point line really carried us and really exposed the impact the three-point line could have on the game. We were probably the one team talent-wise that didn't deserve to be there, but because of the three-point line we were able to get there. |
The way our schedule works out is probably a little more of a disadvantage for our team because we are playing four of the last six games on the road. That is challenging. The only thing I am worried about right now is Vanderbilt. To me, that is the only game we have, and it's the only thing we need to worry about. |
