What we do he used to call chuck and duck. I love all the intricate sets he used to run, but with the personnel we have, we've got to let these guys go. We really stress playing together and we have the kind of guys who enjoy that.

felt game great hitting hold job tempo year
We really haven't had a game like that this year where we just felt like we couldn't get things going offensively. I thought that Pittsburgh, once they got a hold of the game, did a great job of just controlling the tempo and hitting big shots.
advantage enjoy enjoyment hanging players road spend team time
We really enjoy as a team the time that we spend together, just coaches, players hanging out. We always get that on the road. There is an enjoyment to being on the road for us and that's what Minneapolis will be like. We think we're even tighter on the road. We're going to really take advantage and enjoy that.

We're a defensive team. We take pride in that. And we just couldn't stop them. ...I've never had that feeling, where you just couldn't stop somebody.

Our biggest concern was let's not let what happens at Cincinnati affect the next game. In the Big East, you can't let one game affect the next one, because if you've got any little hangover, you're going to get beat.
coaches guys help prepare
Our coaches and our guys have a feel for that team. We know them and that should help us prepare for them. But, on the other hand, they know us too.
Look at your future, that's what I want him to think.

Look at the teams that get No. 1 seeds. They're always traditionally strong programs. I'm happy for all the Villanova players that we got that.
