It's obvious that Chris Quinn is such a key for us. He's just got to play with that swagger and the rest of the guys are confident. So is his coach. |
It's symbolic that when we were cornered, those guys drove us to it. |
It's very intense. No. 1, you have your current team on campus and in school, so you feel torn a little bit. You're very responsible for those young men who have already signed with you and are on your watch, academically and athletically. But you need to be out a couple days a week evaluating. |
James has given them a gear, a guy to play off of. He stirs stuff up for them. He's playing as well as any guard in the league right now. |
Kyle is really important. I feel bad for him because he had two tough turnovers in the second half, but he was fabulous for us. He's not afraid, and we've got to have him in there because it takes some pressure off. |
Last year everyone went, this year we've got four guys not going. On a daily basis, it's intense. |
Let's see if we can put two together. That's the only step we can think about taking right now. |
Let's slow the whole game down a little bit and see if we can just plug along and be better each day. |
Louisville is fighting and scratching and clawing like us. They are in the same position. |
Luke's been very solid there. He's come a long way with his post defense and his defensive rebounding. (Fordham) left him alone and he made shots and gave us a double-digit lead we didn't relinquish. |
Maybe the karma will swing for us. You've got to be a little lucky sometimes. |
My theme is survival, and that's even before we are where we are. You're trying to survive and trying to claw your way to New York City. |
Novak worries you. He's going to get some but God, he can't get 30 on you. |
One of the things I've looked at is more numbers, more bodies. |
One of the things we were frustrated about was Columbia shot 47 (percent) against us and we were holding people for the most part to the 30s. I thought we did a very good job. Our big guys did a great job switching out on guards. |
