Post Game Quotes: Mississippi State

Recap

Ole Miss Head Coach Andy Kennedy 

On Breein Tyree…
“Breein continues to emerge as our point guard which allows me to put guys back at their natural positions. As he’s gotten more comfortable I think our turnovers go down tremendously.”

On Rasheed Brooks play… 
“It means the world to us. I think he was the difference. The score was 29-28 when he came off the bench for us. He knocked down a couple 3s and we got some stops. Next thing you know, we got it in double-figures and they could not get back.” 

On Mississippi State…
“I’ve got nothing but respect for Coach Howland and his program, I think he’s done a really good job recruiting, they’ve got good players, they’re young and they’re growing.”

On what this win means going forward…
“It is just a win for us. It means a lot to Rebel Nation, which is important to me. It just shows what we are capable of if we take the right approach.”

Mississippi State Head Coach Ben Howland

On the first half…
“I thought the first 12 minutes of the game we were right there, and then they outscored us by 18 in the last 7:45 in the first half.” 

On Ole Miss…
“You gotta give them credit, that is a very good team. They did a good job driving us and hurrying us with their penetration.”

On Sebastion Saiz…
“Saiz is a great player, another double-double. He averages a double-double. He is an All-League player.”
