It adds to the credibility of our season. |
It creates a little tempo for us. It allows you to be aggressive. |
It did show them that they can step up and they can win on the road against anyone in the country. I scheduled games against Texas, against Oklahoma State and against Memphis not knowing if we could win, but feeling like you have play those games in order to get yourself on the map. |
It didn't take me long to mention them. I hope I mentioned them the very first day I had a press conference. I'm not sure what I said. If I was on top of my game, I was talking about them. |
It is harder than most because of the crowd. But there's Florida and other places, too. |
It seems the more tired Chris Lofton got, the better he shot. |
It was a fun, locker room moment. |
It was a great game for the fans and the players. We ran out of gas a little bit at the end, but Memphis executed down the stretch better than we did. |
It was a real gut check for both teams. |
It was a real gut check for both teams. Both teams were physically exhausted at the end of that game. |
It was great. I'm hoping this is just what we need to recharge our batteries. As you know, this has been an amazing season for these guys. My basketball team has been tired the last few weeks. I think this is going to give us the shot in the arm that we need, and we need something. |
It was obviously a tale of two halves. We played some really good basketball in the first half. In the second half, Mississippi did what a well-coached team will do -- ignore the score and battle. |
It was off the charts. Terrific. People that have been around Tennessee basketball said that it was one of the best environments they've ever seen, which is wonderful to hear in our first year. |
It wasn't very good, but I guess it's a pretty good sign that the guys know that after an SEC win I'm not real happy about how way we played. |
It will help a great deal. South Carolina had us scouted to the nines. |
