both deserved entire extremely fought hard teams throughout
This was a very, very, I want to say entertaining, but more so, hard-fought contest. Both teams fought extremely hard throughout the entire game. We feel we deserved to win, but they feel the same.
credit game hard missing played point three trying
There's nothing to say. We played a game where we were down three starters. I give Quincy credit for trying to fight, but when you're missing your third- and fourth-leading scorers, it's hard to play like that. There was a point where we had three walk-ons on the court. It just makes it hard.
cleaned feelings forgive hard move stay
The stay here was good. We cleaned up the program. I want to move on. I have no hard feelings. I forgive but never forget.
believed felt hard last practiced talked
No, I believed it. I just felt we made rebounding an emphasis. Last year, I mean, we talked about it and practiced it, but now we go after it hard every day in practice.
goes guard hard obviously work
Obviously Quincy went to work today. And when he goes to work, it's hard to guard him.
hard kids stop
It's hard to play when you're limited. I give our kids credit. They didn't stop fighting.
game hard played sixth starters three
We played a game down three starters and your sixth man. It's hard to play like that.
best defensive football player reads reports tapes watches
In my estimation, Marquis is the best defensive player in the Big East. He's the most disciplined player I've seen, like a quarterback in football he reads reports and watches tapes every day.
sit understand
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.
