If we don't capitalize on our opportunities, we're going to be disappointed in the end. And I have a lot of disappointed kids in that locker room. |
If you got caught up in all the speculation of what would, could or should happen, you'd drive yourself crazy. I'm going try to live in the moment. I've had to live in some bad moments, but I'm going to live in this good moment for a while. |
If you survive, it's good. It gives you a couple of days to heal some wounds. The break was much needed, you don't get that much at this point of the season. |
If you would have told me in September that we're going to play West Virginia on our home floor for all of the marbles, I would have taken that. And that's kind of where we are. |
In life when you get an opportunity you have to take advantage of it. And I felt as if we did not do enough to take advantage of our opportunity. I'm disappointed for our kids, not in our kids. |
In this league, the difference between finishing fourth and not going to New York could be one bad weekend. |
It can feel like controlled chaos here. But it's really nothing new for us. Some things that may seem abnormal to most are just part of our lore. |
It comes back to an individual approach, it comes back to a tenacity, it comes back to a resilience, which I thought this team had identified. But for whatever reason, (Saturday), we allowed one mistake to compound into another. As a result, against quality teams you're going to be exposed and that's what happened to us (against Syracuse). |
It has been quite a tumultuous year. I don't want them to be remembered any other way than as winners. |
It just seems like it's constantly uphill. You never seem to get to the top of the hill, you're constantly fighting against the grain. |
It only counted as one win, but I think, in people's minds they had disregarded some of the things this team has accomplished and now it validates them. Honestly, perception is reality in everybody's business. I think if you stare at the numbers for where our team is - we have a very respectable RPI, and it's been respectable all year, we have a very respectable strength of schedule, and it's been respectable all year, two key non-league wins on the road - all the formulas that says why are you even talking bubble? |
It really is amazing for someone who is 6-6 to play in the league we play in and to be outsized night in and night out. He's got incredible timing and his physical strength is his biggest attribute which allows him to overcome his size deficiencies. |
It was a grind. It was an appropriate ending. We played about as well as we could, hit them as hard as we could. They just kept coming. That is a quality basketball team. It was not given. Nothing this year has been given to us. |
It was either let him play or they were going to have to wrestle him. |
It was everything and more, honestly. It surpassed that. |
