conference experience ncaa pittsburgh university winning
I want the University of Pittsburgh to experience those things that Connecticut has experienced with conference championships and NCAA titles. We will be a winning program.
conference finish good huge ncaa people receive team time tournament win worst
This was huge win for us. I feel like any time a team can get to .500 in a conference as good as the Big East, then they should receive an NCAA Tournament bid. The worst we can finish is .500. In the preseason, people thought we wouldn't even make the conference tournament.

We've had to battle for every single win we've had this year.

We got the win up at their place, but we won on a last-second shot. At one point, we were up 17 on them, that?s huge when we maybe let them get back in the game. I think they?re an excellent team.

The fact we are happy to be here is an understatement. We are not just happy to be here. We came to win.

We felt tonight like we would make history. We thought we deserved it and worked for it.
came game kids loose pressure realize sure team themselves tried
This team is so young that, sometimes, I am not sure they even realize how big this game was. I tried to keep them loose and we just came in pretty relaxed. That is what you have to do with young kids. Kids are resilient. Sometimes, it is the grown-ups who put more pressure on themselves than the players.
game good seed team worst
This was probably our worst game this season. But DePaul is a very good team and they're the No. 3 seed for a reason.
