Villanova doubled us all night and took us out of our offense. |
Villanova is a unique team. Even with special preparation, it's a very difficult team to play. |
Villanova is a unique team. Villanova is going to be unique for anybody to play. No one has guard play like them. Ray obviously made some tremendous, tremendous shots from deep, deep range. |
Villanova is always scary, because of the way they space the floor and force you to play small ball. |
We are a flawed team. |
We are delighted with the reaction that the Muppets are getting from some of the top fashion boutiques around the world, and we are proud to be able to team up with today's stars to do something special for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. |
We are incredibly happy to be here today. We survived an incredible basketball game. Washington gave us everything we could ever imagine to handle. But we were able to withstand it and advance. And that is what you want to do in the NCAA Tournament. |
We are lucky to have him as a part of our staff and this promotion is a well-deserved acknowledgment of the part that he has played in the phenomenal success of our basketball program. |
We aren't overrated, we are misconstrued. We've got three big players and two wings but only one guard (Williams). We have to be able to create for others and we only have one guy that can do it. |
We became a terrific basketball team. We have had some times when the expectations weighed heavily upon us. As the season wore down, we saw our window of opportunity start to become more limited. The greatest thing we did was we kicked the window out and we made the opportunity for ourselves. |
We can have the lapses. It could come back to bite us no question. If I could ask for one thing it would be to focus for 40 minutes. |
We can really give you nightmares inside, and they really can you nightmares on the perimeter. Plus they rebound much better, get every loose ball. |
We caught [Syracuse] playing good basketball. They had won 11 or 12 straight and we caught them off guard. I don't think they expected us to play as good as basketball as we did. |
We caught them when they were playing terrific basketball. And we caught them off guard. I could see it on tape that they just didn't expect us to be as good as we were. That may have been, at particular points, as good as we've played offensively. We really, really played well. |
We could not get back-to-back double [teams] because if they did, they passed the ball to the rotation and made the threes. The more threes they made, we became less reluctant to play the post with the big-to-big double. We cannot send down the small man, so every one of those threes ... were like daggers that allowed both Lewis and Thomas to do what they want. |
