We knew about Monmouth, we knew they were a very good team. We definitely didn't underestimate them.
It definitely wasn't a goal for us. We didn't sit back and say we wanted to win the Big 5 championship. It's just something that comes.
That was my mistake. I was supposed to be in front of Rudy at the time and I let him catch it behind me and that was why I picked up the foul. That was definitely my fault.
We definitely both like to run down the court. It's not like BC, where they like to slow the game down. It's definitely going to be up and down. That's the style of play that we like to play.
Being No. 1 in the country would definitely be a great accomplishment for the school and the fans and everyone.
It's a much needed rest. We're definitely going to take advantage of it. We got a couple of guys banged up. That should definitely help us out going into the tournament with that much rest.
It's pretty sore right now, but the doctor said it's going to be like that. You just have to do what's best. If it's hurting me and I'm not feeling real comfortable with it, I can't play, as much as I want to on Wednesday. I'm just going to take this day by day and see how it feels. If I feel I can go 100 percent, then I'm definitely going to play. If not, I'll just have to sit the game out.
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best.
We're never worried about off nights because we've got guys who can fill it up.
We're trying not to get caught up in the rivalry.
We just weren't being as aggressive on defense and we normally are. We needed to turn it up in the second half.
With all the media attention and all that's going on, I don't want all the focus to be on me. I just want to say my eye's fine, there's nothing wrong with it, so please no more questions about it. I just want to focus on basketball.
We just feed off each other. Sometimes Randy gets it going and everyone on the team knows that and we'll try to find him. Sometimes Mike (Nardi) gets it going and we find him. Sometimes I get it going and everyone finds me.
We hit a lot of shots early and once you hit shots early, you get a lot of confidence as a team.
