00:00 We're looking forward to getting back on the court,
00:04 try to rectify the defense,
00:09 since obviously it wasn't a very good outing Saturday with the defense in the floor.
00:15 So, you know, Ole Miss is a good team.
00:17 They're not easy to play against at their place,
00:22 and we're coming off a bad loss, particularly on the defensive end.
00:27 So, you know, we're looking to get back to playing somebody else.
00:30 I think we've had two good days of practice.
00:32 It's pretty easy to get the guys attention when you give up 117,
00:35 but I did think we had two pretty solid days on the defensive end
00:40 and trying to fix some stuff.
00:41 So, I mean, I think as you've seen this year,
00:44 it's not easy to win on a road.
00:46 Last week, there was 18 losses amongst AP top 25 teams,
00:54 and 15 of them on the road and 11 were the non-ranked teams.
00:57 So winning on the road is not easy at this level.
01:01 This will not be an easy game at Ole Miss.
01:04 I'm sure even if it was at home, it wouldn't be easy.
01:06 They're good.
01:07 I mean, they've got very good players.
01:10 You know, Morell is one of the best players in program history,
01:13 playing against a very good player.
01:16 He's been in the SEC for a long time,
01:20 you know, between his time at Auburn and here.
01:23 You know, they've got Breitfeld, who was at Duke and transferred in,
01:27 is a very skilled foreman.
01:28 And then they've got real rim protection,
01:30 you know, at their five spot and shoot their point guard Murray's been.
01:34 They've got four guys that are scoring at a pretty high level,
01:37 and he's one of them.
01:38 He's quick.
01:38 He gets in the paint.
01:39 So we've had some issues with guys getting in the paint on us before.
01:42 So it's going to be a tough game for us defensively.
01:44 We're going to have to pick up our defense significantly from Saturday.
