I'm excited. It's good for us. We've been there a couple of times and we've had success. We're pretty comfortable there. We feel confident in that place, with the setting, the rims, the court, everything.
came good great guys hit open run shots stuff tough tried
It's nice, but we came into get a win, and that's what we got. All that other stuff is minor. Guys made me look good tonight. They got in open spaces, they hit some tough shots and made some great plays, and I just tried to run the offense.

You always see these things in highlights-coming up, you know, 20 years ago this guy did this record. To be a part of it and to have him be such a good guy as well as teammate, it's something that he's really proud of and I know that we're really proud of him.

We didn't let them get back in the game by turning the ball over. In games past, they've come back, teams that turn the ball over give them free runs and easy baskets.

Boston College is a great team. They're going to be very dangerous in the NCAA Tournament and we knew that game was going to be physical because they're such an athletic team, really physical on the inside, and it's the kind of game back and fourth and we pulled it out in the end.
