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.
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.
goes guard hard obviously work
Obviously Quincy went to work today. And when he goes to work, it's hard to guard him.
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.
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.
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.
beat double gray guard leaves teams tough
We just got beat by a better team. When they go bad, they can always go in to Gray and you have to guard him. Most teams will double him, and that leaves someone else open. That makes them tough to beat.
best five games guys heart job kids played playing three
We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.
basketball game lost relax time worry
We lost a game the other day because we couldn't focus. There was too much other (stuff) going around out there. This time they could relax and just play basketball and not worry about things.
beat forced goal guys hit shots time tough
Quincy went 5-for-20 and they forced that 5-for-20. Many times, he got mid-range shots but he had a tough time lofting it over their heads. Their goal was to take Quincy, make Quincy not beat them. Make the other guys beat them. And our other guys couldn't hit the shots today.
fabulous kept
Quincy was fabulous in the first half. He kept us in there.
definitely east eyes incentive madison square wrong
Quincy wanted to be there (in the Big East Tournament). In Quincy's eyes there definitely would've been something wrong (if he didn't) go to Madison Square Garden. I thought it was an incentive to him.
advice best decision future jack knows learn loyal millions offer people wait wants worry
Quincy is a loyal person and that's what people don't realize. That's why he's been with Jack so long. The thing Quincy knows is he still has a lot to learn and he wants to graduate. If someone is going to offer him millions upon millions, I have to be honest. I'll give him the best advice of what his future will be if he makes that decision (but) we'll wait because I don't want him to worry about this now.
