UT Head Coach Bruce Pearl Quotes 3/4/2006 “We played awfully well, especially down the stretch when we really needed it. We came in here facing a very hungry team in Vanderbilt, a team that was playing for their tournament lives and playing well. It took a great effort on our part. This is a big win for our team.” “One of the questions I got before this game was ‘where’s the motivation for your team since you already have won the East and you’re facing a team that trying to get in the tournament?’ I told them the difference is we’ve brought it every night. We haven’t won every night, but we’ve competed every game. Tonight, they just thought we hung in there and got a great victory.” “It’s going to be a better week in Knoxville because I’m not going to have to answer any questions about what’s wrong with my team. I told our team to just try to become the dangerous team we know we are. We still want to be that team that nobody wants to play because they play harder, they press you, and they shoot the 3-pointer so well. I told them to be that tough match-up. It was that way tonight. I thought we were a tough match-up for Vanderbilt. Reaction to coming back from 16-point deficit in second half: |
