ball fabulous free gotta guys last minutes turn
I thought we were fabulous in overtime. I tell our guys two things when you're in the last minutes of a game: You can't turn the ball over and you gotta make your free throws. We did all that in overtime.
ability basket dribble score shut situations tough
We put him situations to score off screens. But he also has the ability now to dribble penetrate and do other things, go to the basket or give it up. If he does both, that's tough to shut down.
east goal guys knows step tough
Yeah, it's going to be tough and Quincy knows that but some other guys need to step up. Our goal is to still make the Big East tournament, so we're going to need some other guys to take us there.
chance felt game last team
That was paramount. We had talked, going into the first half, that this team was on (its) last legs. They felt there was one game that they (had a chance to win) and it was our game. I told our team to go out and take them (Bulls' legs) away. Once you do that, they'll feel like there's nothing else left. I think that's what happened.

That was one we let get away, definitely. We took a step backward because this is one we were supposed to have so now we're going to have to go on the road and take one away.
clean match move program stay time
I feel it's time to move on. My stay here was very good, and it's time to move on. They told me to clean up this program and I did that. It just wasn't the right match in my estimation.
finish season
I feel it is important for me to finish out the season for the kids.
good happening
I don't like to get into that, because I don't really know what has happening there, but it was not a good situation.
ask great honest jersey job
I do know he can do more than just recruit. He's done a great job here to be honest with you. I couldn't ask for a better person to be with. He'll succeed. He's from New Jersey and you need that here.
bond handle means prepared special tough
I do have a special bond with (Webb) because he means so much to me. And I know for him it's tough (that I'm leaving). But we've prepared him to be a leader. He's able to handle these things much better.
advantage difference experience game maturity opportunity took
Their maturity and experience took over. I thought that was the difference in the game. We had every opportunity to take advantage of that game and we just didn't do it.
basketball guard kid league phenomenal playing top underrated
The kid is playing at a phenomenal level. And they really don't know about him. I don't know if it's because if you're not at the top of the league or whatever. ... He is in my estimation the most underrated basketball player, not just guard but player, in the country.

The kid is playing at a phenomenal level, and they really don't know about him. He is in my estimation the most underrated player in the country.

I felt so bad because this is my team and it looks like I abandoned them. I made a bad choice.
