Kevin Stallings Last Quotations

Last year we were a game or two away. This year we're a game or two away.

We had lost three games on the last possession in league play. I'm really happy for our players. They deserve this.

We got a much needed win at South Carolina on Saturday. I like how our team is playing. We feel like we've played solid basketball over the last two or three weeks.

Every game is a game unto itself. Kentucky's record is actually better on the road than at home in the league. We know it is going to be a difficult game. It was a difficult game last time. Both teams fought hard and played good defense and had trouble scoring. We were fortunate a couple things did go our way at the end, but I doubt if that will matter Saturday.

(Terrell) gave us a presence inside today that we haven't had in the last few games.

As I told them right after the game last night, we won our first two conference games last year, then we proceeded to lose four of six. Our response to that game is more important than the game itself.

It's the same every year. People want to seem to pick (SEC) to be down, but it never really seems like we are. We lost some great players last year, but I think year-after-year you're going to have great players in this league. I'm not surprised in the least.
