al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
al both great guys job kyle
When both guys went with Al ... Kyle Lowry actually did a great job of offing to Allan and got it to (Sheridan). It was a great play by all three.
class establish fans great helped matter seen special tradition
Villanova fans have seen a lot of great classes. For our staff, this class is going to always be special to us, no matter what they do this year. They really helped us establish what we wanted to do here: re-establish the tradition here at Villanova.
basketball college defensive drilling game hit incredible offensive percentage shot teams terrible
We're pretty defensive-minded and when you look at Louisville's defensive percentage and the 3s they hit, you just feel terrible about how you played. Then you look and we hit 14 3s and that's unbelievable. That was just an incredible college basketball game with two outstanding offensive teams drilling big shot after big shot.
body defensive excited fresh good kept mike
We kept Mike and Allan on (McNamara). We wanted to keep a fresh body on him. These two are very good defensive players. They really get excited about guarding people.
depending knew people teams three
We knew there were going to be times that we're going to play bigger, even three forwards depending on teams we play. It's not real complicated. We can put people in different spots.
four games good people rough speed speeding stay time
We try to play our four guards, but sometimes we have games where we get off to a good start, and we can speed people up and stay with it. We were having a rough time speeding them up.
careful guys information lose
You have to be careful about that because you don't want to give the guys too much information and lose our aggressiveness.
blew hit night prepared three
You have to be prepared to have an off-shooting night and still win. We could have hit two or three more threes and everyone would have said we blew them out.
great recover team
To be a great team you have to be able to recover from that.
guys half hold ncaa onto plays rebound second
We had no choice. We had a lead. We are in the NCAA tournament. We said, 'Let's get through this second half and let's see if these guys can hold onto the ball, and we make some plays and just try to rebound with them.
couple doubt remind
We had no doubt that St. John's was going to come in here and play tough. They remind me of us a couple of years ago, young and just scrapping.
busy felt forever super took traveling
We did try to keep them busy this week, but everyone wanted to play. It felt like we were at the Super Bowl; it took forever to play this game. Traveling usually mixes it up a little but we're at home.
needed time work
We don't have time to practice, and we needed to work on the things we're going to need tomorrow.
