defense forward game good last looking pride
We're going to try to have as good a game as last time. We take pride in our defense here. It's going to be a battle, but I'm looking forward to it.

We drew up a play and Connecticut did a good job of denying me in the post. It's a tribute to great Connecticut defense.

From the tape, I knew I would have to play good defense and avoid foul trouble. That allowed me to make some plays, and I was just able to come out and have a really good performance.
good open people team
We got a lot of people out on their shooters and didn't give them many open looks. We think we're a good man-to-man team and we can be physical.

It's something we're going to have to recognize early, and, hopefully, I'll be able to make good decisions when I get the ball.

We're real confident going into NCAA Tournament. We beat three real good teams coming into (Saturday).

We definitely feel like we control our own destiny, but at the same time, we don't feel there are any easy games that we have left. We still have a lot of good teams left to play, but we definitely feel like we're good enough to get through it.

This is a typical Big East game. Even this game came right down to the last shot. The guys did a good job fighting back. It's going to be like this day-in and day-out. There's no gimme wins in this conference.
coach drill game good great job knows matter people practice reasons team
He does a great job of getting people to play their best. One of the reasons we are such a good team is that every day in practice is like a game to us. Everything we do is competitive, and everything we do we want to win, no matter what the drill is. He knows you have to coach everyone differently.

We just really stressed getting the ball inside in the second half. We were all making plays. That was the main difference in us winning the game.

We got so many guys from New York, and they know what it means to play there. It's just a great place to play.
bring
Every game, you have to bring it or you're going to lose.
add easily fuel game guys lost shows
We easily could have lost that game to Notre Dame. The way the young guys played, it just shows they're not going to give up. We don't want to lose. If we do, it'll add fuel to the fire.
