“We struggled, and I thought Kentucky's tenacity on defense had a lot to do with it. They were swarming and really played physical. I thought their defense impacted us in a big way.”
“He was a handful today. He's got excellent size as a shooter. He's also athletic and can beat you off the dribble. ... He's a very good player and he hurt us.”
“This was a critical win for us. Our guys were hungry. We were kind of stumbling and bumbling offensively, especially in the first half. But we gave the kind of over-the-top performance on defense that got us back on track tonight.”
“I'm very concerned about that. I'm concerned that we show some resiliency here and some toughness and some fight to finish this season in a strong way.”
“He's got a pretty good understanding of how to play, so he does some of those simple things that help your team go. ... He is very unselfish so he's good for keeping the offense moving and flowing.”
