I was never quite involved in something like that. |
I wish to God they were in the NBA. |
I wish we were playing tonight. Especially after our experience last week. |
I would have never thought that would have happened. |
I would hope that I represent them, |
I would say our defense got us going, but it certainly wasn't the key to the game because I thought we let up many, many times. They all elevate. It hides sometimes bad defense. That was my concern tonight, the fact they were penetrating, particularly in the second half. |
I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't see some different teams in the semifinals than what people are predicting. And I wouldn't be surprised to see someone play four games in four days. That's just the way this season has gone. |
I wrote a letter to him and told him to hurry back, I needed a sparring partner, |
I?m going home feeling good. I think we?re getting a little better. And we can get a lot better, by the way. |
I'd like to congratulate the St. John's team for a terrific effort. |
I'll be honest with you that on Sunday all I'll look at is the bracket and see if it's a good bracket. But I'd rather go West. I think New York City is not good for us. There's too much family around. I like having control and not have other people thinking about the wrong thing. |
I'll go home and sleep exceptionally well. I feel wonderful about the win. I feel wonderful about the fact that our character and our toughness are being tested. |
I'll remember Marcus' smile from the office in the mornings. I'll remember his loyalty; I'll remember how hard he has worked on becoming a terrific basketball player that is, in my opinion capable of stepping into the NBA and starting for someone next year. |
I'll tell my guys simply Michigan State and Carolina. I think they will get the message. |
I'm a big fan of the Big East but I won't watch the games on TV on Friday and Saturday. It would hurt too much. |
