Stan Heath Conference Quotations

I don't think people clearly understand how good our league is. We're the third-ranked conference in the country. We just aren't top-heavy. There's not someone that looks like a Final Four team right now, but someone could play their way into that. Instead of being top-heavy, we have a lot of good teams.

We've been very consistent. No team has shot over 40 percent against us in conference play. We were right on our average here in the first half, and then they shellacked that in the second half.

We're definitely looking at Georgia and not the SEC Tournament. We'd like to get to 10 wins in the conference and be in double figures.

You can tell it's Southeastern Conference time. For our first day of practice this week, we were focused and we practiced very hard. We had good camaraderie.

Georgia is the leading team in the SEC, in conference play, in steals. We have to be smart. We need to rebound the ball, get a good running game going and get stops on defense.

It seems like three or four years ago, winning nine was the plateau. But a few years ago, it seems like the Big East had a few teams go 9-7 and didn't get in. Since then, there's been a little concern in the SEC about what the number is. Coaches have always felt like 20 wins is a magic number and nine or 10 conference wins, you should feel safe. But at eight, you're still insecure.
