We started to shoot too quickly, maybe we played too smart and stopped attacking. We had good shots and didn't make them and that other team was charging. Then Kevin hit that big shot we really needed, the big dagger.

We were just trying to win everyday at practice, so I can't say I ever thought about this. But to get to this point, it's very rewarding.
|
We were two possessions away for almost the whole second half, but I don't want to start that moral victory stuff. Now, we have to get ready to play Syracuse Monday night.

We'll use a 10-man rotation and everybody just has to give us enough. I hope that's not an issue. The issue will be the talent we face.

We're all trying to get as many wins as possible and they took a major step with the win tonight. I thought they played tremendous defense on us. We couldn't make shots the way we normally do.

We're going to give them [today] off because they deserve it and need it. Tonight's result was great news because a lot of you say we live and die by the three, but we proved that's not necessarily the truth. In order to win, we have to play good defense and take care of the ball and we did both of those.

We're gonna win this game.

We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.

We're very excited about our television schedule. To go from one or two national games a year to possibly double-digit games on national television is good news, but you can't get on television unless you play the top teams in the country. It speaks well about the direction of our program.

We've had four (of these) with other fans celebrating at our expense, so it was nice to see our fans get a chance.

We've never had anybody like this. It's something we try to feed off of. He's essentially got a green light. He disciplines himself.
|
What I remember the first time is that they dunked about the first five or six shots. They did a great job against us, with dribble-drive penetration and finding (Eric) Hicks, finding (Jihad) Muhammad. They out-hustled us on many occasions in the first half.

What's good about it is we played both Pitt and Louisville the past two weeks. We'll be prepared to make the final adjustments Thursday afternoon.

When he dove for the ball he ended up getting stomach cramps. Something cramped up in his stomach and he couldn't do much after that.
|
When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.
