couple deserved home overlooked point
We did not play. I don't know if we overlooked them, (but) there's no point in complaining about it. We deserved to lose. We should be going home and we will be going home in a couple of hours.
certain felt ourselves
We hadn't demonstrated to ourselves that we could play at a certain level, so this was nice. This was a test. I felt much better (after this win).
bench easier maybe needed perspective seeing
We needed something dramatic. Maybe you have a different perspective when you're seeing it from the bench. It's kind of interesting how you can see things a whole lot easier from the bench than from when you're on the floor.
accept learn life possibly
You learn in life that, you give everything that you possibly can. And when that's not enough, you learn to accept that.
dread game grateful question team
There is no question that Villanova is the team we most dread to play. I am so grateful to get that game over.
dread glad question team wear
There is no question that Villanova is the team that we most dread to play. I'm glad we were able to be victorious, because they really wear you out.
chance game greatest last line ourselves share
We want it by ourselves and I think the greatest test of them all is to play Connecticut at our place, last game on the line and they've got a chance to share it. It's going to be crucial.
everybody function game maybe next second turn
I don't know what to say. Maybe the next game we do the same thing. Maybe we'll turn it on in the second half. Everybody has to function at the same time.
anyone arrive best decided four spread talent teams thinking trying
I don't know what anyone was thinking about when they decided to do this. I thought we were trying to spread the talent so the four best teams could arrive at the one spot.
clearly deal great heart played virginia west worked
West Virginia clearly wanted it more. They worked harder, and played with a great deal of heart and determination.
everybody feared last seem team week work zones
To date, yeah, we probably are. We've done a lot work on zones in the last week and a half, anticipating that everybody is going to play zone, but the team that we feared most was Marquette. I like zone a lot as a coach, but my team doesn't seem to like zones.
imagine perspective puts saw
I can't imagine him not coaching. I just can't imagine it. It really puts everything in perspective for me. I never saw that day coming.
anybody appreciate bent bit build came claimed competition envelope hoped jewel loves people push shape terms thinking
I came to Rutgers to try to build Rutgers to become the jewel of the East. I really think a lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the East. I don't know where you're going to get 'jewel' when you are undiscovered and unpolished. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the East. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.
consider elephant fueled hurt length loss pain personally season sting
I am so personally hurt with losses. I really am an elephant like that. I don't forget. I can still feel the pain and sting of it (last year's loss to Tennessee). So when you consider the length of the season and when you can be a little tired, I am not. I am just fueled by what could have been.
