The league has always had so much talent. With Vanderbilt and Florida having to play in the first round is a testament to the depth and the strength of the SEC.

I really thought (she) was the one who blew the game open because we could not contain her.

I'm glad to know we still don't have to celebrate after a win. We looked like we still remember how (to react).

It's not a one-horse race. If a team believes in the magic of March, then I think they could go all the way.

It's been a rough stretch. But at no time during that stretch did we act like losers, even though we were losing.

They did the things that good teams do to win. They did what good teams do to win in the Southeastern Conference. They rebounded the basketball and defended. They did an exceptional job of doing those things and we didn't. And that's the ballgame.

This is a thrilling victory. We got down because we weren't playing with a lot of energy. We changed up our defense and got some key stops, which set up our offense. We played very determined down the stretch.

There's a fragile state (for Ole Miss) between the NCAA and the NIT, and that's been true each year. A free throw here, a rebound there ... the first two years we won those games.

Florida, obviously, is a team that's playing well. They're playing basketball at a fast pace and pressing.

We try to create and manufacture ways to play with teams the caliber of LSU. I thought we battled them about as well as we could have.
