against bring emotion game great half intensity job kids knew playing plays team
This game was about intensity and toughness, and I knew Ollie would bring that to the table. I just thought our kids did a great job playing with emotion and intensity. That's something we didn't do in the first half against Providence, but understand, that was an oddity. This team plays hard.
against continues help man night scoring teams
You take the young man at Marquette (Steve Novak), he went to a big night against Connecticut - Quincy is consistently scoring in the 20s; if he continues to do that, I know it can only help us. But I know teams are going to try to take him away from us.
against felt game last talked team
That (run) was paramount. We talked about, going into the game, that this team was on their last leg. They felt if there was one game they had a chance, it was against us. I told our team to go out and take them away, because then there's nothing else left. And that's what happened.
against best defender everybody game man people plays saw
He's the best defender in the Big East. Everybody he plays against he shuts down. The game you saw Mejia have wasn't an off-day - that young man makes people have off-days.
against effective guys threw
He was effective against everyone. We threw some guys at him, but it didn't make any difference.

I know we're going to sit down after this (season). I'm not dumb. I'm not naive. I understand what's going on.
decision knew program suited trying ways worry
I knew what his aspirations were and I had to make a decision in my mind: 'Do I worry about what his aspirations are or am I trying to make this program better?' And when I thought about the ways to make this program better, there was no better person suited for that position.
coming guy hit knee screen
The (Seton Hall) guy was coming off his screen and his knee hit JR's (leg). It must've hit it in the right spot.
tests
I'm optimistic. All the tests have been done and Anthony is progressing. We think he'll play.

In essence, it was a reprieve from Wednesday because they heard a lot of stuff from us, from you the media, from everyone. I'll tell you something -- these kids responded well.
essence reprieve
In essence it was a reprieve from Wednesday.
call kids monumental people playing
It was monumental if you want to call it that. It was something I think our kids wanted and a lot of people are going to say they're playing for me. No, they're playing for themselves.
credit ordeal statements throughout
I've got to give Quincy credit throughout that whole ordeal because he never wavered. All these statements didn't come from Quincy. Quincy wanted to be here.
