above against aware doubt game history holds matter ranked shots win
I think Connecticut, if I'm not mistaken, is still ranked above us, aren't they? I think it's in all the polls. I'm not aware of us being ranked over Connecticut. The win we had against them didn't matter much. Connecticut still holds a long history over the Knights. One game for us isn't going to make us the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite, no doubt about it.
escape forgetting hard inches matter seconds start time win work year
I think it all comes down to fundamentals. This is not a time to start forgetting things. It will be a matter of inches and seconds that will win the championship. You work hard all year to get to this point, and you have to be able to sustain. You can only escape for so long.
anytime beat coaches feels good great texas wins
It feels good anytime you beat Texas and Tennessee. Wins over those great coaches are very special.
finally missed nice possession win
Every possession was crucial. Every point, every missed cut. It was that kind of a game. It's nice to finally win here.

When I looked in the faces of the senior class, this is the class as freshman that had nine wins and 20 losses. People gave up on us, but they (the seniors) didn't.
against game matter question shots win
The win that we had against them (Feb. 7) really didn't matter much. One game for us isn't going to say, 'Hey, we're the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite. There's no question about that.
great nice time win
It's nice that we win sometimes up here - one time in 50 years - it's kind of nice. We've had great games, but we haven't won. To win here is pretty special.
came knows rivalry team win
Every team we play is a rivalry in a sense, because you try to win every game. That's what it's all about. Who knows who came up with this rivalry?
decided
I think we've decided that that is who we are. And that's who we need to be.
deal deserved fought great heart overlooked played point
I think (West Virginia) played with a great deal of heart and determination. They were small, but they fought hard. I don't know if we overlooked them, but there is no point complaining about it. We deserved to lose.
confused defending great greatness national people represents
I think that because Connecticut represents national champions, people should not get confused about what Connecticut is. Connecticut is a national power. They have been defending national champions. What makes Connecticut great is because they represent such greatness and accomplishment. So (a win) would say a lot.
athletic coach deem develop directors head high hiring list necessary needs proposing skills
I think there needs to be a heightened sensitivity of athletic directors who are doing the hiring process. I'm proposing to see if we could develop a list of what I deem to be the important necessary skills to be a head coach at a high level.
chickens cut excited far necks running settled wondered
I thought we were excited in the beginning, running around like chickens with our necks cut off. I feel we settled down, I just wondered how far we were going to go before we settled down.
adequately chance control happen stop
I think I've addressed it adequately that it's not going to get a chance to get like that, because I'll stop it real quick. It's not going to happen again. I can control that.
