Tubby Smith Basket Quotations

Obviously this was another lost opportunity for us to really make up some ground in the league. Tennessee made their shots and made plays down the stretch, and we didn't. We couldn't get our shots to drop. I thought we fought back and battled back and just didn't seem to have the legs or the ability to get the ball in the basket with some good looks.

Joe Crawford was outstanding, getting to the free throw line and attacking the basket and making his shots.

I told him he might want to try the outside shot because he has missed so many close to the basket this year. Bobby stepped up when there was really no one challenging him. He has been struggling with his shooting, but not in this game.

If he gets any angle at all, he can get all the way to the basket or find someone open on the perimeter, which he did pretty regularly.
