We knew about Monmouth, we knew they were a very good team. We definitely didn't underestimate them.
I was pretty comfortable out there. My vision was good the past few days, so I just came in and I felt pretty good.
The real good teams and the real great teams find a way to win.
I got a lot of good looks. A lot of them were in and out. It just wasn't falling for me today.
We realized it as soon as the game was over. We ran into the locker room yelling, 'Big East champs!' That was such a good feeling.
(Syracuse) gave us a lot of open looks. When you give good players open looks, it's hard not to miss.
It was a great game. A good bounce-back game for us after losing to Canada yesterday. It showed how much pride we have in USA Basketball. After losing yesterday's game, coming out and being able to play hard today against Puerto Rico, that says a lot.
Sometimes, you have to take the good with the bad. As long as the good outweighs the bad, then you're all right.
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.
