I wanted him to understand we ran that play for him with the game on the line. |
I wanted to be here. This is the best place in the world for me to coach. This is my hometown; my wife went to Villanova; it's the greatest college basketball town in the country. This is a dream for me. |
I was really proud that we were able to complete 40 minutes. We struggled, but we finished it off and we just kept playing. That's a sign of a really good team. |
I was very pleased with our defensive effort, no matter what the score was we kept a very intense effort each possession and I was proud of our guys for that. |
I was very pleased, very proud. We played every possession. We played at fever pitch and that's what put the game away early. |
I wish I could tell you I knew this was going to happen, but I just think we're always going to win. I'm more shocked when we lose. |
I would never have known he had 32 points. He does so much for us. He's a great leader. I think he's one of the best players in the country. |
I wouldn't have known that if they didn't bring it up on the screen. |
I wouldn't wish what happened to them on any other class. I wouldn't want to go through it again. |
I?m excited. I can?t wait. And I know the kids are excited, too. I got in here at 6 because there is so much paperwork to do. We have to set up the practice rules, the schedule, everything.But it?s fun. It?s what college basketball is supposed to be about. |
I'd much rather go into this tournament after winning the Big East, but now that we haven't, I think what we will take from that is gaining a little bit of hunger and the understanding that we can get beat by anybody. |
I'd rather just give Penn credit. |
I'm amazed he's able to do this. |
I'm at Villanova for life now. I'm happy as hell. |
I'm happy that Curtis is making an intelligent long-term decision. He has been focusing on helping his classmates. I feel he is confident in them and can now concentrate on what is best for his future. |
