In the 45 minutes he was at practice, he was the best player on the floor.

In our system we let him go to the offensive glass because he's so good.

I just told them I love them. There's nobody like them.

I just told him I loved him and there's been nobody like them. They've set the tone for what we want great players to be.

I really think they considered Villanova a program that can make noise in the tournament.
cincinnati difficult environment hard perfect plays team
Cincinnati plays as hard as any team in the Big East, and this environment is as difficult as any in the Big East. We're going to see the same thing Sunday. It's like we set this up for perfect preparation.
leg percent resistance shooting strength work
His leg strength is at about 90 percent of where it was before. He's doing resistance work and is shooting every day.
But I'm going to let him make the decision.

I know that wasn't a pretty game, but it was a great basketball game. That was two teams playing with a lot of heart.

I'm real proud of our team. To win the conference over a 16-game schedule is a great accomplishment.

I'm scared to death. I know the assassin mentality he has. He's always on attack. He's always probing the defense. I liked it better when we didn't know what was there.
advantage becomes good match unorthodox
In the Big East, we're so unorthodox that it becomes an advantage for us. What we're going to find out (today) is, 'will that be good for us, or will they be able to match us real well?' I don't know.
aspect great knew player spiritual strong
I never thought we could get a player from a nationally renowned program. I knew there was a strong spiritual aspect to him and great intelligence.
