I want to win the game. I take it upon myself as a senior to make sure that we don’t lose close games like we have in the past.

We’ve got to make him put the ball on the floor.

I feel like we gave one away.

We didn’t underestimate them. We knew they moved well without the ball. They didn’t surprise us.

Coming into the game, we felt like we had more athletic ability in the paint. We didn’t expect them to be big-time shot-blockers. So our guards penetrated and our big men did some good work...

Those games we won were great. But at the same time, they are over. We’ve got to get ready for Mississippi State. There’s no guarantee we’re in the tournament. We’ve got to make a statement....

I think people think we are very talented but haven’t gotten over the hump, but I think we have now. I think we showed that tonight.

I’m excited about Senior Night. I’ve thought about it ever since I saw my first Senior Night. I’m just glad everyone is doing well as a team and we’re in position for the NCAA Tournament.

I won’t be paying attention. I’ll be focusing on the ball trying to win.

It was a game that really motivated to me to get better. I got more aggressive and tried not to let little things hold me back.

We gave them too many easy baskets, point blank.

I didn’t know they beat Kansas. I didn’t even watch the tournament last year until the Final Four. But I’ve heard of the school. I watched them play on television once. I know they are...

I knew I was hot at that point. I took pretty good shots. Well, besides the one off the backboard.

I’ve been thinking about that game ever since before that game was over. I feel I have got something to prove, and I feel the team has the same thing on their mind.

I felt I owed them something. And I took full advantage of the opportunity. They came out with their hands down and I just shot it. My teammates did a great job of getting me...

This game was similar to the first one, really — we started out slow but came on in the second half. I just tried to provide some leadership.

You see guys smiling and having fun on this team. Guys are encouraging each other. I feel we’re coming in here to get a big upset and tear this place up.

There wasn’t much we could really do.

I feel very empty inside right now. But the sun will shine again.

We’ve got to come together and climb out of this hole. There’s really no excuse for the way we played. We really need this resume win over Florida. If we come out and play like...

It hurt me a lot. Once you lose a lead like we had and you think we had the game, you think what did I do wrong?

I thought maybe the defender would grab my arm. He didn’t. But coach (Stan) Heath didn’t say anything. He knows I’m going to take a bad shot every once in awhile.

Enough is enough! We played too many close games to lose any more.

I’m not superstitious, so I don’t really care. I’d rather go back to the regular uniforms. But it doesn’t really matter to me.

I feel a lot better than I did over the weekend. I’m still treating it, still icing it down and everything. I feel like by [today ] I should be able to go a hundred...

We always look to get Ronnie the ball. He’s the leading scorer in the SEC, so we definitely feel like we should give him the ball in crunch time.

The only thing I do know is we’ve got respect for them. They’re in the tournament, and they have the same chance we do.

We came into a must-win game and I felt like I owed it to my team to step up and have a good performance.

Our bench brought us a lot of energy. We need Eric and Sean [McCurdy] to continue to push the ball and bring energy.

That would mean a lot. These past three or four weeks we’ve been going back and forth trying to get ourselves at. 500 and then we’d lose, then get back to. 500 and then lose...

Somebody has to pay, and Auburn has to be the team.

It’s important to stay poised. It’s going to be loud. There’s going to be a lot of trash talking. We’ve got to focus on the game and play the best we can play.

We were more aggressive and got the ball to the interior.

The guards definitely take full responsibility for that. We didn’t get the ball to the big guys, me included. That’s something we can’t let happen again.

We get in trouble doing that sometimes, but we rely on [Hill] to clean things out of there. Steven’s a great defender and we look for him to start a lot of fast breaks for...

Yeah, I caught fire for a minute.

I don’t know if getting down there and trying to rebound and getting under all that contact would be a smart idea right now because of coming down on somebody’s foot or landing the wrong...

I think that’s a sign we’re growing up. We wanted to maintain a double-digit lead.

Eric came through tremendously for us.

Our fans are like a pit bull. They’re loving, loyal people, but they can also be very aggressive and nasty. I own a pit bull (named Randy).

Hitting free throws is something we have to do to win games. We were kind of upset because we lost the last couple of games by a close margin. We just tried to make sure...

I got hot for a 3 or 4-minute span. My teammates looked for me in transition. I took good shots, except the one off the backboard, the man upstairs put that one in.

There is still a long way to go. It would be great to go up to Rupp Arena and get a win.

A lot of times we came down to the end of the shot clock and we thought we had something and they’d throw something up and it went in. I give them credit.
