Ole Miss Head Coach Andy Kennedy
On the game…
"We had moments where we looked like a good basketball team. We still have too many breakdowns for my taste. I was pleased. These games scare you to death as a coach. You know where your kids minds are, like all of us when you get close to the holidays. Everybody needs a little bit of a break. We came out with great intensity. We got a lot of different guys minutes, which I thought was important. Breein Tyree continues to get better and better. Cullen (Neal) had his best floor-game of the season, making plays in the open court. Defensively, we're getting better and better. I think we're improving. It's time to improve."
On the defense…
"We've made some adjustments to some things just based on rotations. We were in unnecessary rotations just because we thought we were supposed to. We've cleaned some of that up. We cleaned up the way that we're in ball screens at times. We're trying to change our looks to keep people off-balance. We're trying to figure out it out. After 12 games, we have a better feel of what this team is capable of doing defensively. We're going to try to put them in position to do that. Then, they have to go make plays like they did tonight."
