I think going to Pitt and winning and Saint Joe's got the ball rolling and as we went along we got confidence. |

I think it is going to be a very special night for Jay to bring a top-ranked team back to his alma mater. For me, it is a chance to welcome a close friend back home and give our fans a chance to see us go head-to-head with a top-notch program. I know for our players it is a game they are really looking forward to. |
I think our feet have touched the ground, but just barely. |
I think our kids were a little rushed. It's playoffs and we played that way. We played really fast. |
I think the kids were really focused on yesterday's walk and practice. There was an edge to everybody, because Friday night nobody was very happy and that really carried over today. |
I think the kids were really focused. There was an edge to everybody. As we went out there, we knew we were going to get American's best shot. We always played good defense. |
I think we have to take care of the ball in order to get some quick shots against them. They are obviously great athletes, great players. They get the ball up and down very quickly. We are going to have to find a way to work with that so we can get back and give ourselves a chance to defend. |
I thought the tone was set at 1:19 when Knight drove the ball and they called a foul on Abe. The clock stopped, and they're scoring points. That's the worst thing. |
I thought we did a good job defensively in the first half of taking them out of their offense and that really set the tone for the game. We kept our intensity in the second half and did a good job of putting them away. |
I thought we got a good boost from our bench early. They really got us going. |
I thought we had to go out there early and make them respect us. I thought we did a great job of that. |
I thought we were a little flat in the beginning (against Army). I was thinking about taking a time-out and getting on them a bit (after Army started with a 19-9 lead), but I have trust in them to get themselves through it and turn it around. And they did. |
I told the team they can either embrace the rankings or get cocky. I told them they haven?t been (cocky) all year. They have stayed focused on the task at hand. |
