“South Carolina is one of the few teams in the SEC that we can kind of match up with, size-wise. With Andre starting now we have a stronger inside presence with him and Major Wingate than before.”
“I have to believe they liked Coach Mears. He had the teams and the gumption to compete with Kentucky. Like fighters, there is respect for each other.”
“ESPN called it hideous. I asked Coach Mears for his permission and he gave me his blessing. I plan on wearing it for the Kentucky and Vanderbilt games because they were Tennessee's two biggest rivals when he was there.”
“Give Auburn credit -- they didn't pack it in. They are well coached and they will be good down the stretch. They made their shots and did not go away. It does not happen very often where a game has two such different halves.”
“I don't think anybody is scared of our half-court defense. When you get ready to play Tennessee, you can say lots of different things about how they might beat you, but our half-court defense isn't one of them.”
