I was extremely frustrated about our start. The players are well aware of what they are capable of doing. They have to make each possession a masterpiece. They didn't come close to doing that today.
I thought in several areas we got better today from the standpoint of players that don't play a lot of minutes got a lot of minutes and different combinations with some starters getting to rest and there not being a drop off. All of that is good stuff.
Today was a strong indication of us getting better as a team. Several key players got some rest and some reserves got some playing time before getting into the SEC.
You hear coaches talk about players being in the doghouse. It's not one of those things. It's a kid who made a mistake. She served her time and she's learned from it.
This conference doesn't allow you to enjoy it a whole lot because you know there's a talented Georgia basketball team that got to sit home and rest. It has to be huge for the players to come in here and play against a quality opponent like Tennessee.
It was great having your two best players back to lead everyone this summer.
