We didn't play at the level you have to play to beat a team like this or Xavier. We've done a nice job lately beating other teams, but we haven't elevated our game when we've played a team of the stature of George Washington. |
We knew nobody expected us to win that game besides us, and our guys enjoy the challenge of proving everyone wrong. |
We knew we weren't going to shut them down completely, but we at least wanted to make it more difficult for them with our zone. |
We know that we're not a one-man or a two-man team. To win and not have Curt score much, that's a good sign for our team. |
We were just focused on getting it turned around. We let ourselves down. Certainly we wanted to do better for the league. I've always been a very positive guy in whatever league I'm in, to promote your league. But the best way to promote your league is to win, and we didn't do that. |
We're a better team right now, the way we've played the last 10 games. |
We're obviously happy to win a game after what we've been through over the past week or so. We needed this. |
What a sophomore class they have. For the next two years, they're going to be a force in this league. |
When you go 26-1, what you do in your conference tournament should not affect you much, if any, because you've proven what you can do. There's no way that what happens this week should affect their seeding. The conference tournament is there to give another avenue of entry. |
Where we've struggled is inside the arc. |
While I am sorry to see Mitch leave and we will certainly miss him, he has made a difficult but wise choice, ... There are times when basketball becomes irrelevant and this is one of those times. I and his teammates wish him the very best in his future endeavors. |
While the team's still happy we're playing, I don't know if our fans are. But there's no doubt that (playing) Cincinnati makes it a little more intriguing. |
You forget two years ago that Xavier and St. Joe's were in the Elite Eight. That's as good a year as Conference USA had in 10 years. I don't really buy the argument that it's a lesser league. Because of that, I didn't see any danger to our guys of being overconfident. |
You have to give Saint Louis credit because they came in here and played with great poise. Both teams made a lot of winning plays and they just had a few more than us. |
You kind of have to pick your poison. You didn't want to give up 3s, and you didn't want to let him have easy opportunities. They just made a lot of shots. |
