They needed me to score. I was in position to score. They called a lot of plays for me, hoping I'd get an open look. |
This hurts, but I definitely think we did a lot of good things. We showed our improvement. Last year, we got killed by them, by 33 points. We played them tight tonight, and a lot of guys stepped up. Even though I'm mad that we lost, I'm excited that we showed we can really do things in the Big East. |
We just didn't have an answer for them down low on the post. We let them isolate us and we couldn't stop them. |
We just don't do good on the road. I have no idea why. |
We just ignore it all. Nobody pays attention to it. I don't pay attention to it. I'm just in the gym trying to get the job done. |
We just want to play basketball. I don't see it as a distraction. I know you (media) guys are looking at it that way. |
We were just real focused and composed. We were really prepared for this team. |
We're not playing harder because he's leaving and stuff. We're just playing hard because that's what we've got to do for Coach, what he asks of us. |
We're not playing harder because he's leaving. We're playing hard because that's what's needed to win. |
We're not where we want to be, but we have more games to play. These are games we should have won. But if we keep dwelling on it it's going to affect us the next game. |
We've got way more games ahead. |
Whatever happened up there, that had nothing to do with the players, but we feel for him, he's a good guy, a good coach, he taught us a lot. That's a decision the office made, that's not the players' decision. It is hard, but I'm going to make sure it isn't a distraction. |
