I think we kind of felt like the odds were against us all year, being small and playing with the four guards, and I think that's got to be the same attitude that we go into the tournament with. We have to go in hungry and wanting to prove ourselves. |
I think what we all see in (Florida) this year is an outstanding team. They really play off each other -- five guys double-figure (scoring), and for us it's a different kind of challenge. We realize we are getting everybody's best game. |
I thought it was a great start for us and I thought that we played with great intensity for 40 minutes and everyone contributed at the level we want to play. |
I thought it was a terrorist attack, ... I had no idea what was going on. |
I thought it would be a good challenge for us at this point. Obviously, I wouldn't choose to do that, but it gave us a chance to play big a little bit. ... That was a good experience for us. I think this game is going to really make us stronger. |
I thought that might have been one our best defensive efforts of the season. They are a very tough, physical team and we always worry about being a small team because of our guards that I thought we handled their toughness with quickness and toughness defensively. |
I thought this was a home game for us. When they cut it to seven, (the crowd noise) shocked me. |
I thought we played a good game. |
I thought we played a very good team [in Georgetown], and we stayed committed to the approach of one game at a time. |
I thought we started the game really strong and were very focused, which is a credit to our guys playing at 10:30 in the morning. I thought Australia made a great adjustment in the second half by going to a smaller lineup which gave us trouble. |
I thought we started the game really strong. But Australia made a great adjustment in the second half, credit to them. |
I thought we were prepared. I just give West Virginia a lot of credit. They made more intelligent plays and executed better longer in a great game. |
I thought West Virginia was just great. It's the Big East. You knew it was going to come some time where someone was going to play a better game. We've just got to make sure it doesn't happen again. |
I told him, 'We're going to go down with you shooting the ball. That's who we are. |
I wanted him to shoot more. I said, 'I'm not going to start you unless you shoot.' Believe it or not, he's unselfish. |
