Keving Stallings Quotes 3/4/2006 Opening Statements: “We were obviously disappointed to say the least. We played the first have like we wanted to. I thought we took good care of the ball in the first half and not in the second. We lost our poise in the second half and that is very disappointing. This is our 27th game of the year. We as coaches should have had our guys more poise and more ready for the press.” On the second half UT press: “The key is staying organized. I can’t tell you the number of times we wouldn’t be in the right press alignment. One time it was out of a timeout and we still were in the wrong alignment. We didn’t stay organized and we lost our poise.” On the game as a whole: “They are going to make runs. We had very good opportunities to score during the game and we just couldn’t do it. We probably did a better job with the physicality in the first half and they did a better job in the second.” “We have handled the press well all year except for the second half of this game. They (Vanderbilt players) won’t forget this one. There is still a lot left to be played. We haven’t felt sorry for ourselves all season and we are not starting now. We’re not accustomed to losing like this at our place and we don’t like it. If we had gotten what we needed to done, we would have had a great year.” |
