On the first half start
"I thought it was a great start for us. One thing about playing a young group is that they have short memories. Despite us losing to Florida, we finished the game on a really good note. We were really competitive after we went through what we went through at the beginning of the game. We looked forward to this opportunity. We have preached in this league that you have to do well on your home court. Our approach was tremendous early. We made some shots, and we were feeling good about ourselves, which is something all good teams should do. Arkansas made a run to close the half, but I thought we started the half on a good note. Except for a couple of minutes at the end, I thought it was a good half for us on both sides of the ball."
On the play of Terrico White
"The reality is Terrico White hasn't played point guard in his life until three games ago. Now, we were asking him to go against one of the top point guards in our league in Courtney Fortson. We're asking him to do it offensively and defensively, control the team, and know the plays. It's been a bit of a challenge, but I thought he was tremendous tonight. He shot the ball with great confidence. He didn't turn the ball over. He's just got to continue to get better."
