I'm at the stage of my career when it's not only about winning and developing players, it's about having fun. That's a void in your life right now, but it's something you're going to have here.

I'm extremely proud. We talked this morning and everything he said he wanted this team to do, it's done. It's really amazing to see.
|
I'm just tired of getting out-rebounded. When you have a young team, you're going to have one problem after another. But I've been tired of this rebounding situation this entire year.

I'm not concerned about getting anybody experience anymore. We've got two games before the Big East starts, and we're going to get down to our normal rotation.

I'm not pleased with our improvement. All of our guys are having a difficult time playing for 40 minutes.
|
I'm proud of my guys. They're doing the best that they can do.

I've never beaten a team that played that well. This is the gutsiest, most phenomenally tough group that I've ever been around.

I've tried to talk to him about it. He's not playing with Francisco, Larry (O'Bannon) and Ellis. And they know every little move that each other makes. He's playing with all new people. They don't know each other. He's got to let the game come to him and trust his teammates. And the more he goes inside to (center) David (Padgett) the more open shots he's going to get.

If I didn't have a recruiting engagement, I was going to be here. I did everything possible to change the recruiting thing. I'm a very small part of this night, but I did want to be a part of it.

If we don't beat Connecticut, we're going to have to win three in the tournament, very similar to what West Virginia did last year.
|
If we took care of the basketball a little bit, we actually could have won the game.
|
If we're healthy, I like (a fast-paced game). I don't know if we will be. We tried practicing Andre and Chad (Millard, back injury), and they lasted about 20 percent of practice and we took them out.

If you go to the NIT and win a championship, that is special. That's the way we're looking at this.

It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president. There's a difference in philosophies. It happens. It's a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and it's different than what Bob stands for.
