Ole Miss Head Coach Andy Kennedy
On the game…
"Everything to me starts with energy. If your energy is not good, then you have no chance. Our energy early in the game was pretty good. Defensively, we were pretty good. The changing of defenses was effective. It was allowing us to stay in the game despite our inability to score. When you shoot 16 percent in a half and 53 percent from the free throw line. We've shown one thing. We're going to turn it over. I try to be transparent. That's my fault. I can't imagine guys that can't dribble, pass, and shoot at this level. Some of the things we do with the ball I've never seen before in my 10 years of coaching. We're going to turn it over, so we have to out-rebound people. For some reason, maybe because the competition has gotten better, we're not rebounding. This is from a team that led the SEC in rebound margin prior to the Auburn game. We make free throws. About 77 percent as a team coming into tonight. In your own building you shoot 53 percent and miss 15 free throws, it's a recipe for disaster."
Georgia Head Coach Mark Fox
On the game…
"It was a hard fought game against a top-50 RPI team that we've had a lot of battles with over the years. We were fortunate that our defense was very good. I feel for (Deandre) Burnette, who got hurt. That impacted the game, obviously. You take their leading scorer out of the game, that certainly impacted the game. It's a great win for our team over a very impressive Ole Miss. I continue to be impressed with this building and the commitment they've made."
