  How would you evaluate how you guys did
• 0:01
  against Hubbert today?
• 0:02
  >> We did good, but man, he's a great
• 0:04
  player, man. He he he's going to get
• 0:05
  hit, so we know as long as he don't get
• 0:07
  40 again. That that's the main thing.
• 0:09
  You know what I'm saying? So, we try to
• 0:10
  make other guys score the ball.
• 0:11
  >> How much Sorry. Go ahead, Char. How much
• 0:13
  urgency do you feel now for this game
• 0:15
  tomorrow against Tennessee?
• 0:16
  >> Oh, no. I feel a lot of urgency. It's
• 0:18
  kind of personal this game. You know
• 0:19
  what I'm saying? I heard I heard um
• 0:22
  after the game they were laughing or
• 0:24
  something in the interviews and thinking
• 0:25
  it was a game like since they beat us. I
• 0:27
  mean, they won. Fair and square. They're
• 0:28
  a great team, but it's going to be a
• 0:29
  personal game. So, we're going to we're
• 0:31
  going to see who's a tougher team.
• 0:33
  >> I'm sure you believe you're one of the
• 0:34
  best 64 teams in the country deserving
• 0:36
  of playing in the NCAA tournament. If
• 0:38
  you had to make that case, I know coach
• 0:39
  does it all the time, but why do you
• 0:41
  think you guys are deserving to play in
• 0:42
  March Madness?
• 0:43
  >> Man, I feel like we deserve to play in
• 0:44
  March Madness. We had the toughest
• 0:45
  schedule in the toughest uh schedule of
• 0:48
  the year. Like, you know what I'm
• 0:49
  saying? We played four number one teams
• 0:51
  that was number at least number one at
• 0:52
  this time. Like, you know what I'm
• 0:53
  saying? So, I feel like we had a case. I
• 0:55
  mean, but that's not really up to us,
• 0:57
  man. We we just got to handle our part
• 0:59
  and do our job. We let a lot of We let a
• 1:00
  lot slip. So, that's really up to us.
• 1:02
  That's on our We did a lot of [ __ ]
• 1:04
  So, um we just got to keep winning, man.
• 1:06
  That's the main thing. We're on to the
• 1:08
  next play. You know what I'm saying? I
• 1:08
  feel like we're a top 64 team for sure,
• 1:10
  obviously. But, we just got to go on to
• 1:12
  the next play.
• 1:13
  >> You're capable of going for 3540 any
• 1:15
  given night. In tournament play, is that
• 1:17
  in the back of your mind saying, "Hey,
• 1:18
  if you need to fill it up, you can do
• 1:19
  so."
• 1:20
  >> Yeah. No, I mean, obviously you guys
• 1:22
  know I can score, but I'm not really
• 1:23
  like this game. You see, it was a lot of
• 1:25
  doubling, tripling, doubling me. So,
• 1:27
  they made sure I wasn't getting off. And
• 1:29
  I'm not the type of guy I was going to
• 1:30
  try to just force it. So, I was trying
• 1:31
  to get guys going, get a lot of guys
• 1:33
  involved, uh, make like let guys see a
• 1:36
  lot of open shots. When I need to, I'll
• 1:38
  take over if I need to, but my It's a
• 1:40
  lot of great players on this team. They
• 1:41
  can get going, too. So, um, we'll see.
• 1:43
  >> Last one for me. This Tennessee team
• 1:45
  crashes the offensive boards unlike
• 1:46
  anyone in the country. How important is
• 1:48
  something as simple as boxing out going
• 1:50
  to be tomorrow,
• 1:51
  >> man? It is. It's important. It's
• 1:53
  important. That's the main thing. You
• 1:54
  know what I'm saying? I feel like I
• 1:55
  heard this from a coach before when all
• 1:57
  when a shot goes up that's when the real
• 1:59
  that's when the defense start like
• 2:00
  that's when the fight starts. Let's see
• 2:01
  who's the tougher team. You know what
• 2:02
  I'm saying? Their main their main thing
• 2:04
  is not just making the first shot. It's
• 2:05
  going to get the offensive rebound. So
• 2:07
  we're going to see who's a tougher team.
• 2:08
  They're tough as hell, but we are too.
• 2:10
  >> Awesome. Thanks.
• 2:11
  >> Thank you. You've been a part of a lot
• 2:13
  of conference tournaments and then
• 2:14
  postseasons. How much of a reset button
• 2:17
  can that be for a team? Obviously, like
• 2:19
  you said, there's some stuff, you know,
• 2:20
  y'all had y'all had some ups and downs
• 2:22
  during the regular season. How much are
• 2:23
  you guys able now to maybe you it's a
• 2:25
  new stage as opposed to kind of put that
• 2:26
  behind you and just control what you can
• 2:28
  control here.
• 2:28
  >> Um we like like you said man it's a lot
• 2:31
  of ups and downs but now it's 00. We all
• 2:33
  get a clean slate like you just said. We
• 2:35
  all get a clean slate. We get we don't
• 2:36
  get to think about the past or thing
• 2:38
  like that. We played a lot of teams. We
• 2:39
  know all the teams that um we know all
• 2:41
  the teams that have uh we played in the
• 2:44
  SEC. So we know how tough they are. We
• 2:46
  can just reset and just get on to the
• 2:47
  next one. You know what I'm saying? We
• 2:49
  know we have to do and that's going to
• 2:50
  be personally on us. It's not nothing
• 2:51
  with the other team. There's things we
• 2:52
  let slide. So, if we get on that, handle
• 2:54
  our [ __ ] we got we got a chance to get
• 2:56
  anybody in this conference.
