  On where the team is at this point in the season…
  “We just finished 11 games in 12 days. Obviously, by design. We’re on spring break, so the guys will get a full day off tomorrow. I really like where we’re at. That’s why I scheduled it that way. You want to find out a lot about your team. I think we have. I think we know what most of the pieces are that we need to put in place. Not only at the mound, but at the plate. Defensively, I really think we’ve got a lot of options there as well. You’re as ready as you can get going into conference play.”

  On today’s game…
  “Everybody’s killing it. You look at the scoreboard, just homer after homer, a ton of RBIs, moving the ball around. Doing a good job of that right now.”
  
  On preparing for the start of SEC play next weekend…
  “You got to take it one day at a time. Take your rest days. It’s been a long — I don’t know how long — 14 days, but we’ve played a ton. You got to take your off days.”
