Ole Miss Head Coach Andy Kennedy
On Jarvis Summers...
"He played well in the second half against Coastal when we had to storm back. Then, he had back spasm against SEMO and doesn't play. We go Dayton, and he was the only guy that gave us consistency on offense. We were really sporadic, but he was steady for us. Tonight as we were making that push, he was the guy that was being the player we need him to be. My hope is he's getting back into a rhythm. He understands the importance that he brings to this team."
On the team after non-conference play...
"There have been a lot of things I was not expecting. I felt like the continuity would be a little better because we had more experience. The reality is we are still integrating new guys into the way we do things. It took us a while to figure out who's best with whom. This team needs to share the ball. We have to help each other get shots."
On starting SEC play against Kentucky...
"We're going to have to make jump shots, which is not easy to do in any venue, much less Rupp. Because of their length and ability to alter everything in the paint, you have to make jump shots. Defensively, you have to do an incredible job off the defensive glass. We've improved on our rebounding margin and guys are pursing the ball more consistently. If you allow them to live off the offensive glass, you have no chance. I'm excited for the SEC season. The stakes get raised. A chance to play the No. 1 ranked team in the country is the reason you do this. I think our guys will be excited about the opportunity."
