When you have 20,000 people cheering against you, you find that energy somewhere, somehow. I think tonight you saw that mentality and mindset. The tougher team won tonight. I feel 100 percent confident in saying that.

We beat two potential No. 1 seeds, and beat Tennessee on their home floor. That's huge. That was something we definitely focused on. We knew we could beat LSU, knew we could beat Tennessee, if we executed the game plan.

(Sunday) was amazing. We upset LSU, but in contrast to that victory, there were about 20,000 people in the arena (Sunday) essentially cheering against you. ... It was my first time (beating Tennessee) and only the second time in program history. So you can imagine what that felt like for all of us. We beat two potential (NCAA) No.1 seeds, and we beat Tennessee on their home floor. That's huge. Not a lot of teams can say that.

(The turnovers) were horrific, definitely. But we won. That's the most important point. However we get it done, we get it done. But we know we can't do it again and have the same result.

This is going to be one highlight of many. But right now, this is our biggest win.

Coach always tells us it's not necessarily the team with the best players but the best team that wins. I think tonight you saw that. We don't have McDonald's All-Americans. We don't have All-Americans.

Since we do play a match-up you have to go make the extra effort to go and find a person to box out. It's not like you're playing man-to-man and there's a person right there to box out.

We were in the game. It was just a matter of closing it out. Twenty-thousand people out there didn't want us to win the game.

The end is becoming a lot more real. It's one loss and your season is over. That puts a little fire in your butt. It's scary, but at the same time it's very exciting.

It's the SEC. You can't take a day off and you can't slack off and that shows. Against South Carolina and Auburn (both double-digit losses) we didn't have that same intensity as we did against Tennessee and LSU. You have to come out ready to go on game day. If you don't you're going to lose.
