We've had a nice run, and I'm real happy for our seniors. Only four conference losses for them. So if they hadn't gone out this way, it would have been crushing for me for no other reason than I just wanted it for them.

It was sloppy at times. But the mark of a good team is to win when you don't play well.
I think there is less pressure here than what we faced in the conference tournament. You come from a one-bid league, that's pressure. And when you go into that conference tournament undefeated and you're supposed to win, that's pressure. This isn't pressure.
Just a disappointing way to end the season. Kentucky did a good job, they're an excellent team, I don't feel like we played like we are capable of playing. ... It's a tough day. That's the way life works. I'm proud of what we accomplished over the last three or four months. I hate to have it end that way.
It wasn't pretty. It was a closer game than the score indicates.
What they've done in the Southern Conference the last four years has been amazing. If they had gone out any other way, it would have crushed me and probably hurt them, too. They deserved to go out this way.
We really stress taking one game at a time and I think to have a streak like that, you have to focus with one game at a time in mind. Really, (the streak) doesn't have any effect on us.
