Pitt played tremendous defense on us. We did our best to open looks. It was hard to get them. They frustrate you.

Rather than those gut-wrenching last seconds, it was good to just get some of these guys out of there and let them enjoy the experience of playing in the NCAA Tournament.
|
Right now our kids don't care how banged up they are. They know what's at stake.
|
Senior players have helped us make our style work. It just opens the floor for us, whether people are in man or zone.

Sometimes that zone just spooks people. I still haven't gotten used to how fast leads can change. When we make threes, the defense just steps up big time. Everyone gets pretty charged up. That's the beauty of the three.
|
That is my preference. But you never know how much these freshmen will be pressed into action.
|
That was a great basketball game. Their tempo is incredible. No one had pushed us at that pace all year.
|
That was a huge three.
|
That's a rule we want kids to follow. If they are feeling it, shoot it.
|
That's a very important thing, and I'll let him make that choice.
|
That's the thing I think of when I think of this rivalry. That's when I sensed it was something special.
|
That's way overrated. Momentum can change so quickly. One injury, one missed shot, a missed dunk, technical. Momentum is too changeable for me to put much stock in it.

The 1-3-1 is very hard to prepare for in just one day. It was a staple of everybody's team in the 1970s.
|
The last two possessions we did not do what we wanted to do. We were running a certain pattern, and one time we got confused. It just takes one person to get confused, and it throws everybody off. That's just the way it goes. We'll learn something from it. It's hard to do that in that atmosphere.
|
The pace was incredible. Do you turn off the tempo? You just have to let the kids go. They got in that zone.
