I look forward to continuing my coaching career at Kent State. My goal, as it has been since the day I arrived at Kent State, is to continue the tradition our program has developed. We will strive to maintain the high level of excellence Kent State basketball has achieved in recent years.

I take my hat off to them. A rivalry? I think it's two programs that have a lot of respect for each other.

I thought we played pretty hard tonight, which is all I'm concerned about. They're a tough team to guard, and whether we play here or in Alaska, I just want to make sure our team plays hard.

I was very proud of our kids. They had an opportunity at the end of the game, and they took advantage of it.
|
I wear pretty much the same clothes everyday. Just like those guys, I do the exact same thing every game day.

If that's one of the things that the hierarchies of the league think (will work), I'm all for it.

In order for us to have a chance in this game, Pitt would have had to shoot the ball poorly and they just shot the ball extremely well. We had to spend so much energy trying to fight an uphill battle and get back into the game.

In the first half, we had the best help on defense we've had in a number of games.
|
In true leadership fashion he kept settling our team down. He's a great player. He doesn't have to just score. He's got to just control our team. He did that.

Isn't it every director's dream to gene-splice to get the ideal person for every role? We had the same problem with the female lead: one actress with the perfect look, one with the voice. I thought, what has Hollywood done in this situation?

It's been a strength of ours all year. We play nine or 10 guys. We have different guys step up. We don't rely on one or two guys. We utilize our bench as much as we can.
|
It's great to have that kind of tradition. That's unbelievable. In a lot of places, after four years, guys are gone and never come back, but not here. That's what makes this program special.
|
It's sheer numbers. They're able to attract a type of player that we're not able to attract at Kent State. We're not making any excuses but we're probably not going to be able to get a McDonald's All-American, where they can.
|
Mike Scott has been giving us great defensive presence all year. The rebounds he got down the stretch were very key.
|
Nobody thought we were coming back. I'm sure nobody in the arena (did). I could hear people screaming and complaining, but you know what, these kids don't think they're going to lose.
