Darrel Mitchell Quotations

I don't know if it's funny, but it's shocking. Normally at this time of year, all everybody is talking about is football. Fortunately for us, it's our turn to shine this time.

I don't know if it's funny, but it's shocking.

He's made a drastic change since my freshman year. My freshman year he was a tough cookie. He would say things you wouldn't expect a coach to say.

I really didn't know what the play was. I really didn't hear it.

I've just been hyped up the last three games after I had that bad start in the SEC. I felt real good tonight. It was probably the best since I've been here.

He basically carried us on his shoulders. He showed up big for us and he's just a special guy.

He's a character. In practice he's cracking jokes all the time to get us going. When we're going in practice, if somebody fouls him he'll exaggerate it and make all kinds of noise. It's just simple stuff like that that makes us laugh. He's a big, great guy.

That's what leaders do. They step up and make big plays.

We played as well as could be expected. We been struggling. We just don't have that fight in us anymore. Seems like if we don't hit the shot we don't want to play defense.

Without Darnell, we wouldn't be sitting up here.
