�It was a hard fought win for us. I think we played really well. When we were down 10, I thought we were trying to do too much individually.� Trent Johnson said. �We really needed to get back to our offense as a team and we did that. That is what happens when you have a group of guys that wants to win very badly. Chris Johnson is typical of this team, he was ready to play before the game. He wanted to play so badly and he was excited about the match up against Patrick Patterson. Bo Spencer had a great game and he really stepped up in a huge way. We got some big minutes from some guys who haven t got a lot of minutes. Storm Warren got two huge blocks. Our guys worked extremely hard and they are a great group of guys to coach but with all that being said our guys continue to get better.�

Tasmin Mitchell answered with a three pointer sealing the deal on the win after Meeks missed a crucial goal from behind the arc with three seconds left,customized bobbleheads.

He played good but I think it was an entire group of guys that played in the second half. He put some pressure on the point guard like we like to do. We started disrupting them and got a big lead but then we relaxed too much. We aren t mature enough to be a team that stays composed. We didn t play smart enough. When we had a lead it was similar to the South Carolina (game). I made a critical substitution during that 10 point lead,custom bobblehead, which ended up being the wrong guy. That s what got us in the position we were in,personalized bobbleheads, in the first place and it got us in the end. That was a mistake by me.� Kentucky head coach Billy Gillispie said after the game.
