They can keep their heads up because they took the No. 1 team in the country down to the wire. |
They know we?re a dominant team in the Big East. They knew a win against Connecticut would do a lot for them. |
They were calling themselves, ?The New Bullies of the Big East.' It shows what we did to them tonight. We played a lot stronger than we did at Villanova and it turned out good. |
They're not going to show us the 12 side, obviously. They're going to show us the 22 wins. |
They're trying to make history, and knocking off Connecticut is a big deal. |
This isn't good enough. Not with the caliber of team that we have. |
This shows that guys aren't going to give up and that guys aren't going to lay down, regardless of what happens in the game. We're all sticking in this together. |
This was a continuation of Villanova. We still felt that intensity, that fire of beating Villanova. We brought it right through to (Wednesday's) game. It died out, because they (South Florida) played tough defense. |
We are a championship team at heart and these are the type of games that are preparing us for down the road. |
We are a very talented team, and depth is taken into consideration with Coach on the way we play. |
We didn't dominate them the way we're supposed to, didn't do the things we're capable of doing. We paid the price for it. |
We had to regroup as a team. We knew that we played a lousy half in our eyes and we had to do something about that quick. |
We haven't started like that in a while. With me coming off a pick-and-roll with Hilton and him getting a dunk, I was like, 'That's what we're talking about.' Where was that for the past four or five games? |
We put so much work into it, especially this week, of really getting the game going, the tempo going. |
We seniors took it upon ourselves to lock him up and not let him get started. |
