Apparently a punch was thrown. Loren is hurting. It was below the belt. You don't get any better officiating crew than we had, and they said they didn't see anything, so it was fine with me. You hate to see something like that ruin a great game. |
As a coach you are always telling them how great they can be and sometimes they don't see the greatness. It was cool to make some history, beat a ranked team, and have a crowd here like this. It was really fun. |
Down there, Gary had a game similar to this, but everyone else had a big game, as well. Here, we were able to contain everyone else. |
Four years ago there were a lot of people who thought we were never going to get it going here again. Now the burden falls on next year's group. |
Give credit to Wilmington. They came out and took the fight to us. I'm proud of the way we continued to compete, but they're a tough team to chase. |
He can score in a variety of ways: posting up, off the boards and on the break. |
He?s only a sophomore, but he?s becoming a leader for us. And he spends so much time working on it, he can only get better and better. |
Honestly, we got lucky in that one. But when you have a special season like we have, you win a lot of close ones. |
I can't understand what more we could've done. Where I come from, when you beat a team, you stay on the court. |
I don't get caught up in that. I just know it's hard to be a good basketball team, whether it's the first or third time you play them. |
I don't know if I do, to be quite honest. I mean, it changes your lifestyle drastically. It lessens the amount of free time you have, you know, family time and recreation time, which is important to me. I tell everybody, Jay went home [to Villanova]. I am home. That's important to me. |
I don't think it will take very much to motivate our guys and let them know that now we have to go prove to people how good we are. |
I don't want to deal with any of that right now. We had a great dinner here but we didn't have a chance for dessert. Going to the Garden would have been a great piece of pie for us. |
I guess that's how teams that win 22 games do it. You just find a way to gut it out and win. |
I hope they weigh what's important. |
