I'm especially proud of the way we battled back and put ourselves in good position. This was a good week for us. We got better and we'll build on this.

I'm very fortunate to be at the University of Pittsburgh.

I'm not surprised she's having success. She's always been the type of person that expects to win.
city concrete graduating kids means proof proud sell talk
I'll be very proud of that. That one means a lot. That's one of the things we sell in our recruiting. We talk about the university, about the City of Pittsburgh, about graduating and about getting better. We have concrete proof that kids get better here.
came couple game good lack plays
It was a good game that came down to a couple of plays at the end. We came up a little short. It wasn't for a lack of intensity.
eight game guess number question seems teams test three win
I've had that first-test question about eight different times. It seems like it's not a test once you win the game in some people's eyes. Wisconsin's number three in the RPI, so I guess we have to get the one and two teams in the RPI to get a test in some peoples' eyes.
niche sell strengths talked unique
It was a completely unique situation. We talked about that she's got to find out what your niche is and what your strengths are. You've got to sell that.

It was perfect execution by two freshmen and a sophomore. Five guys did exactly what we wanted to do.

It's your typical Cincinnati team from what I've known in the past. They're very athletic and they're very experienced.
assistant coach coaches coaching good guys head jobs looking preparing
I want guys who want to be head coaches. To be a good head coach you have to be a good assistant first. I want our guys looking at head coaching jobs and preparing to be head coaches because that makes them good assistant coaches.
certainly difference played
It's certainly a setback. But it's not as big as some make it out to be. The difference (Monday) was we played much better in the first half.
ask common five game gotten last people riding rivalry teams time together
It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been (tight) down to the end. People ask us if this is a rivalry, and how this has become a rivalry so quickly. It's not very common for a rivalry to come upon this quickly. Every game has a lot of riding on it. Every game has been a battle.
came couple knew plays roll
At the end of the game, as we knew it would, it came down to a couple plays at the end and they just didn't roll our way.
came game good obviously ourselves position proud
At this point, we're obviously disappointed. We put ourselves in a good position at the end of the game but we came up a little short. I'm so proud of how we battled. We got better this week.
