believed kids lack people specific team
I think a lot of people believed we couldn't do it. These kids just believed in themselves. (The double-bye) is very important for this specific team because of the lack of depth.
dominated double figures four guys inside people time
Our young inside people just dominated the game. Any time we get four guys in double figures and get 89 points, we usually come out on top.
helped win
I thought he just did a lot of sacrificial things that helped us win the game.
best expected shot
I expected Marist's best shot and I think we got it.
basketball credit gotta mike motivated played
I gotta give Mike (MacDonald) credit because they played motivated basketball from the beginning.
recognize
I don't know what it was with Jason. I didn't really recognize him today.
great key thin toughness
He's a toughness guy. Darren's got a great body. He's strong. ... With how thin we are now, he's a very versatile, important, key guy.
huge trouble
He just has that chip-on-the-shoulder toughness, like a riverboat gambler. He's going for it. He's got huge, huge heart. You're never out of trouble with him.
aspired best boxing came coach dream father fighters head pay ranks today
My father was a big boxing fan, and he used to say the best fighters are the ones who come through the ranks and pay their dues. I'm here today because I came up through the ranks. My dream was always to be a head coach in the Big East. That's all I ever aspired to do.
win wrong
There are too many things going wrong for us to win this game.
against outside playing team teams top
When you're a 12 seed, you're usually playing against a team (in the first round) that's just outside of the top 25. That makes a big difference. A lot of the teams out of the top 25 are so similar, and in the tournament, anything can happen.
ball hands
When there's a last-second play, you can't get too scientific. You have to get the ball in the right people's hands and see if they can make a play.
belong dues paid
I've paid my dues and I feel like I belong here and I'm ready.
coach dangerous eyes forget literally magical might moving next nobody people tears win winners-and-winning
A lot of people thought we were dangerous but nobody thought we could win the whole thing. I could coach for the next 20-30 years and might never go through something like that again. It's an unforgettable team. I will never forget this team. I literally had tears in my eyes in the huddle (Sunday). It was so moving and magical and emotional.
