advantage blessing game gets guys injuries mature ready
Farley can do a lot of things, and every game he gets a little more comfortable. All these injuries have been tough, but you're going to see them as a blessing pretty soon. A lot of guys have had to mature quick, and we just have to get ready to take advantage of it.
basketball conference earn good knock people
This isn't like any other conference. If you want to go to the conference tournament, you've got to earn your way there. So that's what we've got to do. We need to go knock some people off and play good basketball and earn our spot.
break coach couple early easy fast forced pressure score stressed
Coach stressed that we had to get out on the fast break more. We got a couple of easy buckets and put pressure on their guards. We forced them into some early turnovers. That's when the score got away from them.
gets guards looking point saw top upside
That's my little guy. From day one, I saw the upside in him. Looking at him, you don't think he's much of a player. But when he gets on the floor, I think he'll show he's one of the top point guards in the country.
beat came coming couple losses needed shows stayed team teammates youth
Our losses have been coming at the end of games. That shows the youth of this team. We got beat by a better team today. Even with me hurting, my teammates stayed in the game. It came down to a couple possessions at the end where we needed stops, and we didn't get them.
against crowd road
That's the road for you. Once you get the crowd going against you everything comes out of joint.
senior
I have nothing to say. As a senior leader, it's tough.
almost definitely family garden guys home miss playing special state
I had to miss playing in the (Madison Square) Garden (against St. John's), but this is definitely one I didn't want to miss. I'll have a lot of family and friends there. For guys from Jersey, this is almost like playing in the Garden. You go back to your home state to play, it's a special thing.
thinking
I'm not thinking about a record. I'm just thinking about winning.
ball dame great played saw shot stop
If you saw the Villanova game, we played a great game. They just shot the ball tremendously. There is nothing you can do about that. At the same time, we have to stop Notre Dame from the three-point line. If we do that, we'll be in great shape.
behind closed hard tried trying
Behind closed doors, he's an All-American. When he first got here, he tried so hard to just play the right way. Now he's just going out there and trying to play his game.
heart shows
I didn't think he would ever play again. And for him to be back here playing, that shows his heart and dedication.
hold hurting
He said I wasn't going to play in this game. I'll never let something like this hold me down. If I'm hurting the team, I won't play. But if I can help, I'll play.
fighting forward looking sure
I'm sure they've been looking forward to this game. But we're just here fighting for our survival.
