We kept Mike and Allan on (McNamara). We wanted to keep a fresh body on him. These two are very good defensive players. They really get excited about guarding people. |
We knew he was going to have to make a decision at some point. Once he gets cleared, we've got to know. We've got to make a decision because it's getting to be drama. |
We knew it was coming. I love him. I told him after the game, he was great. He was a beast. |
We knew there were going to be times that we're going to play bigger, even three forwards depending on teams we play. It's not real complicated. We can put people in different spots. |
We know Monmouth a little bit. Hampton has had great success in the tournament, so we are going to get a good team. |
We loved being here. It was great being comfortable here. |
We need to get him on his feet and just get calories in him, because he's lost so much weight. I think this week will be really good for him. ... He has a chance of being 100 percent by Sunday. |
We need to get our forwards involved. We've been working on it. Will has been defending, making plays, but not scoring as much. Tonight he took it to another level in a big game against an outstanding team, which I think tells you a lot about Will Sheridan. |
We never mind it being ugly. ...We just continue to find ways [to win.] I don't think we're ever going to be pretty. We're 21 games into the season. This is who we are. |
We never planned on doing it again. |
We now have a long-term commitment, a new practice facility planned, a newly expanded conference and renovations planned for the Pavilion. There's nowhere our staff and my family would rather be. |
We played extremely tough and aggressive. Our defense and rebounding kept us in it. ... Every time Louisville made runs at us (our) guys made big plays. Game number one in the Big East, that's what it's going to be like. |

We ran into a team that played better basketball than us. I think we can play a lot better and we can shoot a lot better, and the other team had a lot to do with that. They were really good. |
We ran into a team that played better basketball today. We're going to suck up this hurt tonight but I want to make sure my guys feel great about themselves. They gave everything they had. |
