I love Collins; he's unflappable. For them to win, I think they needed Collins to be who Collins is and one of those other two guys have a good night. Just Collins had that night, and that's one of the reasons that we won.

I never look at talking to a referee as working a ref. I think it's one of the worst phrases that could ever be made because I don't think that's what happens. What you're trying to do is find out why something is being done or explain your situation.

I promise you that this is a dangerous venue to play in. We are very happy to get a win. We've had some teams play hard against us this year, but not like Clemson did today.
|
I really respect Boston College. They're veterans. They play a unique system. They're tough competitors.
|
I really thought we were playing better than them but it wasn't translated onto the scoreboard. We were frustrated and I thought it hurt us on the defensive end of the floor.
|
I temper my enthusiasm for the way we played defense because of the fact that they've been on the road forever.
|
I think both teams played excellent defense. You can't take everything away from them. We tried to limit their 3-point looks and it opened up for some drives inside.
|
I think maybe one of the problems is maybe that you need to develop a team, and a team doesn't mean you just have all the best players. I think the [international] game is different.... You have to build a team that will play in those conditions, not the conditions of an all-star game.

I think part of it was that we thought it was going to be easy, and this tournament is not easy. Hopefully, we learned that lesson.
|
I think Roy's done as good a job as anybody in the country with his team.
|
I think that gave that group a little more confidence. He stepped up as a senior then and that was one of the bigger shots of the game.
|
I think the people who are involved in this program should embrace it, ... When you look up at the scoreboard, it will say the United States. It will never say an individual name. I can promise you we will put together a team that will serve as an example to the rest of the world of the way the game should be played and the way you conduct yourself.
|
I think the seniors, especially this week, helped our guys even more. What a great game.
|
I think we beat a really good team. And we may see them again because I would think they'll be in the NCAA tournament and they'll be a tough out for anybody. I would say they're ready for Patriot League competition now. As long as they don't pick on Army too much.
|
I think we could have done a little better job, but the other team forces you into those situations. I don't think we ever completely adjusted to the physicality of this game. And they did.
