Great players are going to have to step up if you're going to beat the best team in the country. Certainly Chris carried us.
I think it's very wide-open. I think LSU is obviously the team to beat as SEC (regular-season) champion. I think Florida comes in playing extremely well, as does Arkansas.
Arkansas is one of the most talented teams in the country and playing really good basketball right now. It's hard to imagine (Arkansas and Alabama) having to fight their ways in as well as they're playing.
Sparks makes that team better because he's so versatile. He's a threat from three, he takes big shots and he does a great job of getting his teammates involved.
This thing is wide open. There is a lot of parity in this league and any team is capable of winning it.
It was a real gut check for both teams. Both teams were physically exhausted at the end of that game.
Florida looks to me like they're the team to beat.
I hope if Kentucky ever becomes irritated with me, it's because my team is good enough to compete with them.
Georgia is pretty darn athletic. Their guards are terrific. When both teams are fresh, you have to give the advantage to Georgia. ... They were much quicker, much more athletic.
