Without taking him away you don't have an opportunity. Our game plan, to take Whitney away, gave us an opportunity with this team. |
Yeah, it's going to be tough and Quincy knows that but some other guys need to step up. Our goal is to still make the Big East tournament, so we're going to need some other guys to take us there. |
You don't know how much of a relief (it was). I thought our kids came out and relaxed. We lost a game (to St. John's) the other day when there was too much other crap running around out there. This time, they could just play basketball and not worry about other things. |
You gotta understand, I've been with him for three years and I've seen a lot of things go down. The thing I do know is he's getting better and better each time he walks on the floor. And I don't know if we've seen the best of him yet. That's the scary part of this whole thing. |
You take the young man at Marquette (Steve Novak), he went to a big night against Connecticut - Quincy is consistently scoring in the 20s; if he continues to do that, I know it can only help us. But I know teams are going to try to take him away from us. |
You wonder if it will all be based on if your team is in the top echelon of the league. I think they recognized that and gave him what he deserves because he's had a fabulous, fabulous year. |
