credit game lack lose proud team
We didn't lose this game from lack of effort. I give credit to Connecticut because they are a top-notch program. But I am proud of our team and our effort.

We felt tonight like we would make history. We thought we deserved it and worked for it.

We feel like we should go to the NCAA tournament. We're excited.

We really struggled offensively. We didn't have a flow. Notre Dame did a good job.
believed history magical ncaa pittsburgh saying selected though tournament
We really thought we would be making history (last night). We wanted to be here saying we got Pittsburgh into the NCAA Tournament for the first time. This has been a magical season, and we aren't going to let not being selected to the NCAA Tournament take away from what we have accomplished this season, even though we really believed we would be invited.
anyone combat near pittsburgh recruit tried
We didn't have anyone to combat Schrader's size. And we know all about Allen. She's from near Pittsburgh and we tried to recruit her.
struggled
We didn't have a flow. I thought we really struggled offensively.
country philosophy top tournament
Why not Pitt? We're in one of the top conferences in the country. The philosophy (for tournament selection) is if you go .500 in your conference, you're in. That's the way it is in the ACC, SEC, all the top conferences.
maybe point starting
We're not on Connecticut's level, but I think we're starting to get to the point that maybe we can be competitive with them.
cast closed gap players score supporting sustain victory
When they did that, their supporting cast was shell-shocked. I told my players to go out and think that the score was 0-0 when it was really 26-9. They closed the gap to 29-20 right before the half. That was a big victory for this young team. We just weren't able to sustain it.
excellent huge maybe win won
We got the win up at their place, but we won on a last-second shot. At one point, we were up 17 on them, that?s huge when we maybe let them get back in the game. I think they?re an excellent team.
behind last nine percent points score shoots
We're behind by seven. Duffy shoots 90 percent at the line. We're not going to score nine points in the last 15 seconds.
bringing deserve faithful men people support
We need more support like the men get, but you have to show them that you deserve it. But we have faithful people and they're bringing people with them.
awesome crowd focus home kept sluggish task team telling
We were a little sluggish at first, but there are no excuses. The home crowd was an awesome environment. I kept telling my team to focus on the task at hand.
