guys pick
Everybody's got to pick it up. I can't put guys on my back like that.
guys lost realize starting streak winning
After the Marquette game, guys got tighter as a team. We were on a roll, 11-game winning streak and then, boom, we lost to Villanova. But we got even tighter. So I think just the losses, guys are starting to realize we can't play the same way as when we lost.
expects great guys puts strong
That's coach. It's something guys come to expect. I think he expects so much from us, and he puts a lot into us energy-wise to make us better players, to make us great players. . . . You can't come to Connecticut if you're not going to have a strong mindset.
coach court guys lay matter shows sticking together
It shows that guys aren't going to give up. It shows guys aren't going to lay down no matter what happens. If things on the court aren't going well, the other team's making a run, coach is down your throat, guys are sticking together and maintaining what we need to be doing on the court.
credit dominating good guys might older people physical team themselves thinking tougher win
I really put a lot of thinking into dominating this game, getting the team going and winning. I think the older guys put it on themselves to win this game. I think we're tougher than a lot of people give us credit for. They might say, ?You're talented, but you're not tough. You can't have both. You're going to be too good if you have both.' I think a lot of our guys are tough physical and mentally.
guys happens lay regardless shows sticking
This shows that guys aren't going to give up and that guys aren't going to lay down, regardless of what happens in the game. We're all sticking in this together.
aggressive allow career college gotten guys happened players protect regret rest shot throw trying
I think it's basketball. These refs are trying to protect players from doing something they will regret for the rest of their college career and season. But at the same time, we are in the Big East. We are in an aggressive conference. You should allow guys to throw 'bows. I think that's what happened with Jeff. He shot an elbow. He was in the wrong, but I don't think he should have gotten ejected.
against dominant knew team win
They know we?re a dominant team in the Big East. They knew a win against Connecticut would do a lot for them.
arrows coach dominating pointed sure team thinking
After we lost, I did a lot of thinking about dominating this game, getting the team going. Coach said this was just like any other game, but we really had bull?s-eyes on this one, circled it, had all the arrows pointed to it. We made sure we were focused.
four history ncaa pleased regardless unheard win
If I win a championship, I?m pleased. But If I don?t win an NCAA championship, I?m not pleased ? regardless of how well I?m doing. It is to make history out there. Two championships in four years? In this day and age, that?s unheard of.
country heads team took
They can keep their heads up because they took the No. 1 team in the country down to the wire.
bullies calling played shows stronger turned
They were calling themselves, ?The New Bullies of the Big East.' It shows what we did to them tonight. We played a lot stronger than we did at Villanova and it turned out good.
beating brought died felt fire played tough
This was a continuation of Villanova. We still felt that intensity, that fire of beating Villanova. We brought it right through to (Wednesday's) game. It died out, because they (South Florida) played tough defense.
early looked
Early on, we were just out of whack. It looked like we didn't know what to do in the first half.
