Stan Heath Second Quotations

Here is what I liked -- we rebounded and defended our butts off the whole game. We didn't make shots in the first half and that frustrated us. I wasn't concerned. I knew we'd come back in the second half. I just told our players that our (14,734) fans deserved a good performance.

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.

That was a great play! To be able to get a stop and then Sean throws the ball up and it goes in. We've got momentum going into halftime and it puts a smile on our face. I thought it helped us by starting the second half getting another lead and extending it.

With Florida you have got to pick a poison. I thought in the second half by using man where there was more one-on-one coverage, Steven (Hill) really held his own. I thought he had a really good game on the defensive end.

Auburn is a difficult team to play because they have so many different defenses. We wanted to make sure we had a high energy level. I thought we responded pretty well in the second half.

I like the way he played. In the second half he was forcing an aggressive tempo. He did a nice job. He's a great luxury to have.

The No. 8-9 spots are not necessarily where you want to be. That is always a tough game because it's two even teams, and even if you win, then you play a monster (the No. 1 seed) in the second round.

I really don?t know what Tubby told them at halftime. But that certainly was a different team in the second half.

Georgia is a very aggressive team, and we had to be careful not to get out of our rhythm. At halftime I encouraged our guys to have more patience if the transition (opportunity) wasn't there. But our defense really picked up in the second half and created some offense for us.

They get it to each other very well. Second in assists in the country.
