across basketball beyond brother country deeply family looked maggie obvious older outpouring people received sympathy touched
Maggie touched so many people beyond basketball. Our family has received an outpouring of sympathy from across the country and we are deeply appreciative. As her older brother I know she looked up to me. But I always looked up to her, too, and it's obvious that a lot of other people did as well.

confidence good guys obviously seem step team
Levon was obviously very good tonight. It was a team effort. I like our 11 guys and I have confidence in all of them. I think you can see that and they all seem to step up.
associate barry basketball director east elite head operations rise status success vital whether
Barry has been very important to our success over the years. Whether it was a director of basketball operations or as our associate head coach, he was a vital part to our program's rise to elite status in the Big East and nationally.
amazing bad
What's amazing to me is that they didn't have one bad second-round game.
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.
anxious battle calmed clock defense good great hard job last played ranked running rushed shots size tested towards win
This was a great win for us. I think we were anxious at first and rushed a bit. But we calmed down and played a great last 30 minutes. They're a very good team, ranked 19th in the RPI, so they're battle tested and very well coached. Their size and versatility make them hard to play against. I thought we did a good job offensively, especially running the clock at the end and getting great shots towards the end of possessions. Our defense still has a long way to go though.
defend everybody guard knows secret
We've got to defend and guard the perimeter. There's no secret there. Everybody knows that.
We've just got to keep doing the things that we're doing and keep getting better.
grow learn year youth
We had to grow as the year went on, and we are not going to use youth as an excuse. We've got to get something out of this. We've got to learn from this.
change expect foul guys minutes surprise
We had to go and change some minutes with the foul trouble. But it's not a surprise the way we responded. I expect those guys to respond.
