across bases bodies campus couple defensive football guy hoping offensive people picked players search tall trying walk
People think I'm trying to be funny, but right now as I walk across campus I'm going to search out tall guys. We picked up a couple of football players yesterday, an offensive guy and a defensive guy, so we have our bases covered. I'm hoping we can get enough bodies to get through practice.
against bottom game golden hold kids last league lost opportunity quality top trying
We have another game against another quality team. Now we'll have to see how the kids will respond. The quality of this league from top to bottom won't let you back your way into success. We lost a golden opportunity in our last game. We were just trying to hold on and back our way in and that's not going to happen.
four good guards guys reinvent themselves trying year
Four guards isn't as frightening, four really good guards is what makes it a challenge. They're guys are really good players. They've done this all year, it's not like they're trying to reinvent themselves mid-year like some unfortunate souls. They've been doing this all year and they're really good at it.
confidence east felt hold ourselves road thinking trying ultimate ultimately unless win
I felt as if we were just trying to hold on, thinking we were going to back ourselves into a road win in the Big East Conference. It's not going to happen. Unless we play aggressive, with confidence and as if we have something to play for, which is our ultimate goal, ultimately you get what you deserve.
east felt hold league quality road thinking top trying win
With the quality of this league from top to bottom, you are never going to back your way into success. I felt as if we were just trying to hold on, thinking that that we were going to back our way into a road win in the Big East Conference. It's not going to happen.

I've been under this rock now for quite some time.
dependent exceeded happens plays tough unfair
I think he's exceeded expectations when you look at what he's done. But it's unfair that we've had to be so dependent upon him. When he plays well, we're a tough out. When he does not play well, which happens as a freshman, we struggle.
continue doubt hurt next
We'll continue to be the same team. I don't have any doubt about that. We will hurt from this, we will regroup, and we will go and take on our next challenge.
against coach courage decided fitting game man shows took tribute
I thought it took a lot of courage for coach to come. It shows you what kind of man he is. It's a tribute to these seniors. They wanted him to come. I thought it was fitting going against his alma mater in a game that decided our season.
couple eric fortunate guys needed played production step
We needed him to step up. He and Eric (Hicks), out of our core, played really well (against Villanova). We didn't get production we needed out of a couple of guys. We were fortunate to be in it down the stretch. It's been different guys on different nights. We've had some guys be more consistent.
coach earn hurt
I can't go crazy. I can't do anything to hurt our team. I can't get away with what a more established coach can, and I shouldn't be able to. I have to earn my stripes.
