We can't use it as an excuse. I think if we can go to Villanova and Pitt and play well and win, we'll have a much better picture of who we are. |
We didn't want to come down here just to win two games and go home. We wanted to come down here and try to win it. |
We expected him to come in and score, and he's lived up to the expectations. The great thing about him is he's not backing down from anyone. Any time you've got a guy that has a lot of heart and will work hard for you, he's going to be successful. |
We have two days to get ready. Saturday will take care of itself. If we put in the work, then you hope for the best. You never know what could happen. We're excited to have the opportunity to play in front of a lot of people. |
We needed to get out of Syracuse. We need to be road-tested. You get a good idea of where your team is at when you play on the road. |
We put ourselves in a bigger hole than we were already in. So we have some work to do on Sunday because we need it. |
We're a lot better than the way we're playing. We're not this bad of a team. |
We're looking forward to it in one respect, but we're not looking forward to the fact that it's the end of his college career here. We've loved every minute of it for four years. That part's going to be hard. |
We've shown glimpses of really good play, 30 to 35 minutes. Now we have to concentrate on playing 40 minutes. If we do that, I think we can beat anybody. |
Well, we won it, so I guess I was pretty motivated. I think we all were. This is the toughest year I've played, and for these guys to battle and to come down here and fight and to do this is...it's one of the greatest. |
You know, it was our time. We wanted to come down here and try to win it. |
