dirty four great guy keeps nobody talks work
He's always the one nobody talks about. Everyone talks about the four guards. Well if there's four guards, there's one other guy but we never talk about him. He does all the dirty work and he keeps a great attitude.
country four rated respect talks teams top tradition
When Villanova's rated as one of the top four teams in the country and a No. 1 seed, I think it talks a lot about the respect, not just of this season, but it's respect for the tradition of the program.
everybody hear mythical spend talking talks time
We hear it all the time, so you think about it because everybody talks about it around here. We spend all our time with each other talking about, 'Forget about it.' It's such a mythical thing and everybody talks about it.
beat believed game guys locker lost room talks
I know our guys believed we could beat them and even if we lost this game they would believe it. Everyone talks about our guards, but in our locker room we know what our forwards can do.
crowd cut game home shocked
I thought this was a home game for us. When they cut it to seven, (the crowd noise) shocked me.
against attitude felt four hungry odds playing prove small tournament wanting
I think we kind of felt like the odds were against us all year, being small and playing with the four guards, and I think that's got to be the same attitude that we go into the tournament with. We have to go in hungry and wanting to prove ourselves.
deal home practice
I think being at home and being comfortable makes a big difference. Not having to find a place to practice . . . There's so many things to deal with logistically when you're traveling, that this just makes it better for us.
amazed basketball confident court summer
It has amazed me how confident he has become in his intellect. The first day on the basketball court here, he was not intimidated. But that summer going to class, he was. It was very obvious. He was scared.
answered beat deserve game good great
I think we beat them on a good night. They're great. They deserve to be No. 1. They answered everything we did, we answered what they did and that's what made a great game between two outstanding teams.
bit
I think we are a little bit more experienced, probably a little bit. We are very similar, but they are a lot different.
guys losing player status
I think these guys have been through so much - normally, losing a player of Curtis' status would be devastating.
coaches earn honor league picked
It is an honor being picked by coaches in a league like this. Now we have to go out and earn it.
confident faith gone great injuries jason mental player reservoir strong
Jason has gone through more injuries than any player we have ever coached. He has a great reservoir of faith and mental toughness. We are confident he will come back strong from this.
