beat east focusing game ncaa winning
It's a game we need to win. We're not focusing on winning the Big East, the Big East standings, the NCAA standings, whatever. They beat us the first time, so we have to get this win.
east freshmen meaning means
The freshmen haven't been there yet, so they really don't know the meaning of a Big East championship. I don't think that they take it for granted. I just don't think they know what it means yet.

They've had some tough losses. Either they're going to tank it, or they'll come out in the Big East and turn it up a notch.

I think some of us take it to heart, some of us just think of it as, like ... the freshmen haven't been here yet, so they don't know the meaning of Big East champs. I don't think they take it for granted. They just don't know yet.

It came down to me wanting to go into the league and be effective and walk in with a kind of confidence and swagger that I am ready to play at a high level.

Playing a No. 16 seed, sometimes you think they are going to lie down and give us the win. We need to go out and take the first hit.

Their fans. The fans were loud. Thirty-seven (points), (Ryan) Gomes had. I remember that, too.
coming deep ethic exactly freshman great help leadership potential season step taking team work
As a freshman you go in there and you step into deep water. Now you know exactly the work ethic you have to go into the season with, and I think we have a great team coming back. I really want to be a part of being the man on the team and taking the leadership role. That will help me grow. This team will have the potential to do a lot of big things.
