Stan Heath Men Quotations

We have got great momentum going into the tournament now. We'll play these guys again, and I really think Georgia is a much better team than they showed today. I really expect their guards to step up in the tournament. Next time is going to be a lot tougher.

We've clearly shown that we're a lot better making defensive and offensive plays down the stretch. We're doing a much better job now. That confidence and momentum should carry us.

On different nights, different guys step up for them. Their players complement each other very well. They get themselves easy baskets by running the floor and off offensive rebounds. They don't take a lot of difficult shots, and when they do, they balance it with easy shots.

If (the NCAA tournament teams) were selected today I think we'd be in. But there's still no guarantees. We have to continue to play well and close out the season the right way and not leave everything to chance.

That might have been the whole thing right there, the incredible experience as well as the solid play and their savvy out on the court. It was like old men playing against young guys out there. They knew what they were doing. They never got rattled. They never got shaken.

Sean can help us with his shooting and Cyrus with his rebounding, and both can do other things. I'm just glad our freshmen can be our fifth, sixth or seventh options and not our first or second.

I hope it's a really special night. All three of our seniors are good kids and they've done a lot. I think they deserve a lot of credit for their perseverance, commitment and character.

Ole Miss went on a 14-7 run and that was a turning point. They got some momentum going and we could never get the lead.

It's just maturity. Those two players have had a great relationship, but they're learning how to complement each other. It makes both of them better, and we want to ride that horse a while longer.

That was a great play! To be able to get a stop and then Sean throws the ball up and it goes in. We've got momentum going into halftime and it puts a smile on our face. I thought it helped us by starting the second half getting another lead and extending it.

I've got this old Piston mentality of how they played in the old days and how they play now. Sometimes when those shots aren't falling, you can just grind out a win, just tough it out with rebounds, good defense. That doesn't bother me.

When you don?t block out on free throws and have the ball knocked away from you late in the game, it?s tough. You have to be aware of who is around you. We made too many mental mistakes late in the game to win.

It's an important, important game for both basketball teams. Both teams are coming off good wins that helped us both in a big way, and to continue that momentum for us would be real important. And protecting our home, obviously, is something we've done a good job at and we would like to continue to do so.

There's nothing like having all these young men on our campus and letting them see how great our facilities are, how great the area is and just what all Arkansas has to offer. We love the Real Deal on the Hill.

I thought Vincent was huge for us off the bench. He gave us a nice lift. He gave us momentum when he first came in the game.
