It hasn't been a fun time for me coming to Charleston. It's just one loss. I'd rather lose this game than lose to St. John's. |
It kind of got us hungry again. And we got 2-3 really good days of practice. |
It was strange out there knowing it's your last time, but what better way to go out than with a win like this. |
It was such a fluke thing for him the first time. For Kevin to go through a game and not to score is pretty hard to believe. Today he came into the game with a great mind set and he worked hard and he played a tremendous game. |
It was unfortunate to lose, but it got us hungry again. |
It will be good for us to get some rest, go to class and take some naps. |
It'll be great to get in there even for a little while just to get a feel for the background and the lighting. We've played on a lot of pro floors before. |
It's exciting, you know? We're just excited to be in the Sweet 16. |
It's the best experience I've ever had. I can't explain it. |
Kevin is one of the best all-around players in the conference. He's obviously one of the best shooters and his inside play has improved this season. Kevin is a big part of our team. |
Last year when we were struggling in the Big East, it was because we didn't know how to win if our shots weren't falling. But we're not going to shoot 60 percent or some ridiculous number from 3-point range every night, so we needed to find other ways to win. Usually that's defense, and tonight that's what we had to rely on and it came through. |
Maybe because we played yesterday we were tired. Teams like that you don't see very often will sometimes try different things. I think that's what they wanted to do. |
My stomach was getting a little tight there and I had to go to the bench and ice it down. I felt great after I iced it down. It doesn't bother me too much when I jump for my shot, more when I'm running up and down the court. |
Obviously we're in first place and undefeated in the Big East, so hopefully we can beat a Pac-10 team. It's going to be real tough, but we're going to try and represent the Big East as best we can. |
Our 1-3-1 defense wasn't every effective because they're so tall, they just passed the ball over us. It doesn't matter if you're right on them. They just score right over top of you. |
