"It's great. We've had a lot of really good teams here. I don't even know who was in the SEC back in '55-'56 but it's a good league now. Look, we're just trying to play good basketball. I think we played pretty well tonight. We got a really tough two-game stretch in front of us so it's nice to make some history around here." - Nate Oats after his team’s win against Florida in their last game.

"To score 78 on the road in here against a really good defensive team is enough to win. But our second half defense let us down. We fouled them too much. It did not matter if we were playing man or playing zone. We just could not find a way to keep them off the foul line. ... They affected our post defense a little bit. ... We did not get killed on the boards and turnovers. We played well enough to win." - Bruce Pearl after his team’s loss against Texas A&M in their last game.
