Their unselfishness is the reason we can play Randy at the power forward and Allan at the small forward. They just want to win.

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.
considered noise program
I really think they considered Villanova a program that can make noise in the tournament.
beat believed game guys locker lost room talks
I know our guys believed we could beat them and even if we lost this game they would believe it. Everyone talks about our guards, but in our locker room we know what our forwards can do.
feels great group hurts love loves sure
I know it hurts for everybody, but I really want to make sure this group feels great about itself. They love Villanova, they love that experience, and Villanova loves them.
noah shots sure
I know how many shots Noah blocked. I'm not sure how many shots he altered. He is outstanding.
finish hell schedule top
In this conference, if you finish in a grinding, 16-game schedule at the top of the conference, you're a hell of a program.
bus doctors great home hospital looked prognosis released report worse
I just got a report from the doctors at the hospital and it was great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. He will be released from the hospital and he has vision. He is a day-to-day prognosis right now. He will go home with us on the bus tomorrow.
against aggressive hope inside strong
I hope so. I don't want to go inside against inside against them. But there's a lot of similarities, too. They're very strong and aggressive defensively. They like to play fast. And so do we.
final good playing
I really feel so good about this season. It's not even not going to the Final Four, we just wanted to keep advancing, keep being together, keep playing together.
assassin liked mentality scared
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.
fans feelings game gave gerry great hotel looked mixed nicely sons spent wearing weekend
I had mixed feelings. I wanted it to end nicely for him, but not at our expense. He had a great game and we got the win. We wanted to be focused, but there was so much going on. Our hotel looked like I spent a weekend in Scranton. My sons were wearing Gerry McNamara jerseys that the Scranton fans gave them.
taking
I never thought about taking him out. I said to myself, 'We're going to go down with him.
