against battle came continued east game good ncaa physical shooting team
This was a tough, physical Big East game against a team who I think will be good enough to go to the NCAA Tournament. Our shooting wasn't great, but Marquette had a lot to do with that, so we continued to battle and came away with a big win.
amazing bad
What's amazing to me is that they didn't have one bad second-round game.
five game gotten last teams time together
Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. Every game has been a battle.
focused game trying win
We were focused on trying to win the game and that was it. That's what you have to do and that's what we were focused on.
biggest boards emphasis
We were down 11 on the boards and were still in the game. It's the biggest emphasis for us.
advantage base battle size win
We had a size advantage. We have to win the battle of the boards. That's what we base what we do on.
ball care foul line played
We did a lot of things well, we battled, we played hard. We have to do some things better, take care of the ball better. We need to get to the foul line more.
couple game good knew played plays
We did a lot of things well; we battled, we played hard, rebounded well and did a lot of good things, but at the end of the game we knew it would come down to a couple of plays at the end of the game and it just didn't go our way.
good job key
We did a good job defensively on McGrath tonight. That was key for us.
guys half knew second strong team
We knew as a team that they were going to come back strong in the second half and our guys responded well.
anymore both game good home road success win
To have the kind of success we've had this season, you have to be good both home and away. It's going to be a battle, but I don't think the game being on the road makes us want to win it anymore than otherwise.
giving nobody win
You had to win this game. Nobody was giving it to you.
grew matters respond year youth
What can you say to these guys? We grew a lot as the year went on, and youth is not an excuse. All that matters right now is how we respond to it.
energy game
Every game we've battled. The energy is there.
