Open the windows. Open the doors. Get as much fresh air as you can. |
Shannon did everything that we asked of him on and off the court. He gave maximum effort and had a great disposition -- but the ball just didn't go in for him. |
That got our feet underneath us. We're not a defensive team that tends to turn you over; we are a defense that defends you. |
That's a monumental win in this league. St. Louis players looked a little tired. Emotionally that tires you out, and we were able to take advantage of that. |
The actions should never have happened. They are forgiven, but they are not forgotten. |
The dike has some holes in it. You can't put your hand on all of them. Who would have ever imagined? |
The players who were let go gave us everything they had. There's nobody being let go who wasn't a good player or didn't handle themselves properly. ... These were not easy choices that we had to make. |
The seniors did this. The seniors would not allow it to be the way it was coming out of (Temple) Feb. 14. They have my greatest admiration. |
There are few who spanned from Jack Ramsay to the current teams. On a personal level, this is a difficult time to lose a mentor and a very, very, very dear friend. Jim Boyle gave me the opportunity to enter college basketball in 1985 and I will be forever grateful. |
There is a certain arrogance that still says, 'How can anybody beat us at our own game.' Well, they have. We have to be more diligent throughout our program, understanding the nuances of international basketball. |
There's a certain expectation at the University of Delaware that Monte signed on for. He will fight every day to make sure their expectations are fulfilled. |
They have a lot of pieces. I like the way that they defend. They really come at you and they challenge you to be skillful. ... I don't really think the score was indicative of the spread. I think they dominated the game. |
They have wonderful, wonderful players and their inside guys are better offensively than ours were. |
They haven't seen a guy of this magnitude. Even (former Xavier player) David West was a dominant player, but not like Morrison. |
This is a group that deserves to be celebrated. What you have seen may never be repeated anywhere in college basketball. |
