It's going to be very competitive. The only tears that will be shed is if we lose the game. |
It's great to see seniors and freshmen and everybody else in between playing well. Our players are building mental toughness. |
It's just a matter of time with Steve. If he were to stop shooting, you would see him come out of the game because he would have lost his aggressive mind-set. |

It's just another thing. Winning or losing wouldn't change how I feel about him, so let's go out and win the game. That's how I feel about it. |
It's one of those things where he's going to be ready because he has to be ready. We'll live with the pluses and minuses as we go along, but he has a chance to be an excellent guard for us. |
It's phenomenal for our fans to be able to do that, ... In our time [in Conference USA], we never lost at Southern Miss, so that was a good trip for us. But we'll have a thousand fans at Seton Hall, while we might've had 10 at Southern Miss. |
It's the depth of the league. Teams can go to their bench and there's no drop-off. It's really impressive. |
It's unbelievable for our seniors and it'll be a great learning experience for our freshmen. Everybody associated with Marquette should be proud and excited for this team. |
It's very hard to come back on this team. |
Jack and Jackie gave Jim a great value base. He saw how Jack did it and how Jackie supported it. Jim is such a natural leader and a natural competitor. He feels a responsibility to lead people. That's what led him to be a head coach. |
Joe has worked so hard on his shooting, as has Dan, and we feel like it's going in when they get the ball. We are very confident with those guys on the floor. It makes a lot of difference for us to be able to play five guards and not have any drop-off when you go to the bench. |
Kelvin will be a big-time success. His teams are always prepared, and they play hard. |
Kendall and Gray have got to be great friends. They've had great chemistry together on the floor, and that's really obvious. They find each other so well. Kendall is a tough guy. He totally fits the way they play here. He's a bona fide forward in this league and this country. |
Last year after Travis went down, we didn't have any options. You never want to be in that position, especially as we go into the Big East. In this league, you've got to have five or six guards that can play. We're not there yet, but we're getting closer. |
