It hurts because this was a game you gotta win and we didn't. But we got Louisville coming in and they got the same (Big East) record as we got. They're fighting for their lives so they're coming in ready to play. |
It seems wiser to consolidate the policymaking and the funding allocation responsibilities in the same body, ... When you have multiple boards existing in a climate of dysfunction, you lose accountability. |
It shows that they take education first and athletics second. They came here because they wanted a quality education. There are others who don't understand that and don't get the best education. |
It was monumental if you want to call it that. It was something I think our kids wanted and a lot of people are going to say they're playing for me. No, they're playing for themselves. |
It's a good possibility we won't have Adrian the rest of the season. It hurts, obviously, because in my estimation he's one of our best defenders and he's an inside presence. |
It's hard to play when you're limited. I give our kids credit. They didn't stop fighting. |
Jimmie was in his spot. |
JR is in great spirits it's just something that we're just going to have to let heal. It happened where he just planted the wrong way and it just cracked on him. |
Like I told them in the locker room, I'm getting tired of telling them that. We lost our game at Syracuse where we played hard, were right there with a chance to win, and we didn't win it. We need to find a way to get over that hump. And that's the whole ballgame right there. |
McNamara would have helped them, but I don't know how much. They played like a team. |
McNamara would've helped them, but I don't know how much he would've helped them. I can't say because he was gone that we were better, because they played like a team. |
My intentions are to focus on the next four or five games. |
My lawyer's still in negotiations. |
No, I believed it. I just felt we made rebounding an emphasis. Last year, I mean, we talked about it and practiced it, but now we go after it hard every day in practice. |
Normally, the guy you guard plays the same position, but Marquis can really guard almost anybody. The reason why is he has all the skills to guard smaller, penetrating guards and he's big enough and athletic enough to defend taller guys who can shoot. |
