couple four games gave great learn mentally minute team three tough
In games like this there are little three or four minute spans when you've got to be mentally tough enough when that other team is really challenging you. They're distracting your game and you can't give in and I thought we gave in a couple of times and it will be a great thing for us to learn from.
became fortunate kid
He became a kid that we were very fortunate to get.
appears close injured percent plays since
He appears to be as close to 100 percent as he's been since the injury. He's going to get injured when he plays because he's so fearless. Going into this game, we're going to need that fearlessness in him, and I know we're going to get it.
bothered confidence eight elite five game happened lack last led lose louisville maybe texas twice until
I don't think until the Louisville game (in the Elite Eight last season) did we ever lose a game we led in the last minute. Then it happened to us twice in five days. I think (the Texas loss) bothered us for at least another game. Maybe there was a little lack of confidence after that.
almost chris defense good guard impossible tough
He's incredible. There is not a defense for some people, and Chris Quinn is almost impossible to defend. You look at him and think 'Here's this choirboy. He's not going to be able to do anything.' But he is as tough and as good a guard as there is in the Big East.
handled learn
I don't like the way we handled a lot of things, but we're going to learn from this game.
delivery healthy heather kevin prefer
If he can't play because he's got to make a delivery or whatever, we'll play on through it. We want Kevin and Heather to have a healthy baby, and we prefer that much more than a healthy game.
great happen honor people special
I can't think of two better people for this to happen to. Those two are special players. What a great honor for them and for us.
anybody
I don't think anybody thought we were slow-paced then.
ball beautiful sure throw
It sure wasn't a beautiful game. (Pitt) had 19 turnovers and we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.
bracket ncaa remind round three
Doesn't it remind you of a bracket for a round three of an NCAA tournament?
freshmen pressed
That is my preference. But you never know how much these freshmen will be pressed into action.
four half hit kevin second warming
I told Kevin when we were warming up for the second half that I was going to hit four three-pointers,
playing rhythm teams tough zone
It's tough to get in a rhythm in this league. You can go to playing teams who play all zone one day, to teams who play all (man-to-man defense) the next.
