god
We're right where we wanted to be right now. Honestly, I didn't think it would take this long. God had other plans. We had some struggles.
beginning realistic until weigh
We've still got until the end of the month, beginning of March, until they let him make a decision. I think he's getting more realistic about it. When I have to make a decision, I'm going weigh in my decision. He's working, he's enthusiastic.
credit finished goes good sign
We struggled, and a lot of that credit goes to Marquette. But we finished it off, and that's a sign of a really good team.
lucky realize
What if that had been it? All we've got is every day. Let's just take every day and realize how lucky we are.
happen knew sure time virginia west
I thought West Virginia was just great. It's the Big East. You knew it was going to come some time where someone was going to play a better game. We've just got to make sure it doesn't happen again.
adjustment australia credit game great second
I thought we started the game really strong. But Australia made a great adjustment in the second half, credit to them.
adjustment australia credit game gave great guys half playing second smaller strong
I thought we started the game really strong and were very focused, which is a credit to our guys playing at 10:30 in the morning. I thought Australia made a great adjustment in the second half by going to a smaller lineup which gave us trouble.
great longer plays virginia west
I thought we were prepared. I just give West Virginia a lot of credit. They made more intelligent plays and executed better longer in a great game.
great recover team
To be a great team you have to be able to recover from that.
good great hampton success
We know Monmouth a little bit. Hampton has had great success in the tournament, so we are going to get a good team.
needed time work
We don't have time to practice, and we needed to work on the things we're going to need tomorrow.
anybody count five floor guard guys rebounds
We don't have one or two big guys that we count on to get rebounds and that we keep around the basket. All of our guys guard all over the floor defensively, so anybody could be in any position. We do need to use five guys rebounding.
busy felt forever super took traveling
We did try to keep them busy this week, but everyone wanted to play. It felt like we were at the Super Bowl; it took forever to play this game. Traveling usually mixes it up a little but we're at home.
couple doubt remind
We had no doubt that St. John's was going to come in here and play tough. They remind me of us a couple of years ago, young and just scrapping.
