-Dennis Gates said that Nate Oats apologized for the shove after the game. The question he poses is: If that was a player shoving a coach in the huddle, what would take place? He said he thought the refs had it under control - "I thought."
-Gates thought that Tamar Bates and Nick Honor were both really good tonight. Said he knows it feels good for Nick to see the ball go through the net.
-Gates said Alabama did an excellent job of filling in for Mark Sears after he tweaked his ankle.
-Gates was asked about Sean East dealing with an illness tonight. Gates said he was able to play 30 minutes and that his heart was in the game, he just wasn't 100%.
-Nick said second-chance points played a big role in Alabama pulling away down the stretch. Said it's been the little things that have hurt them this year.
-Asked what the message to the team is, Nick says it's a long season. He thinks they've got good habits, but the results don't show up right away. They'll keep working at it.
