00:00 I feel great about how they won.
00:02 That's what I told them in the locker room.
00:05 Don't let anyone out there take away what you did today.
00:08 Because winning college basketball games is hard.
00:12 And there's going to be people on social media,
00:15 there's going to be people in your circle that love you,
00:18 that are going to be asking you why we need to play better.
00:20 And you need to set them straight.
00:22 We won against a very talented team.
00:24 It may not have been as aesthetically pleasing as everybody wants it to be,
00:28 but at this point in the season, you just got to win.
00:32 And I'm proud of the fact that they stuck together,
00:35 the huddles were good, they found a way.
00:38 And that's what it's about.
00:40 It ain't going to be exactly the way you want it.
00:42 Certainly, I want them to come out and play perfect
00:44 and get a stop every time and get a great look every time,
00:47 but obviously it doesn't work that way.
00:49 And even though we didn't play our best,
00:52 Arkansas had something to do with that.
00:54 We've got really good players.
00:55 They don't have the glossy record that they want or expect,
00:58 but their staff has obviously done a tremendous job,
01:01 and we're a proud program.
01:02 They came in here and battled us for 40 minutes,
01:04 and we're trying to win the game just like we were.
01:06 So, like I said, I'm proud that they stuck together
01:09 and found a way to win the game.
