You have to be prepared to have an off-shooting night and still win. We could have hit two or three more threes and everyone would have said we blew them out.
advantage closed couple looks
We had a couple of looks that went in and out. That was our chance. You only get so many opportunities and we didn't take advantage and they closed us out.
against game level scoring tells tonight took
We need to get our forwards involved. We've been working on it. Will has been defending, making plays, but not scoring as much. Tonight he took it to another level in a big game against an outstanding team, which I think tells you a lot about Will Sheridan.

We need to get him on his feet and just get calories in him, because he's lost so much weight. I think this week will be really good for him. ... He has a chance of being 100 percent by Sunday.

Typical, tough conference road game. It didn't take South Florida long to figure out how to play in the Big East.

We did a very good job and I give (Smith) credit. He was hurting us in the first half. He's really good.

We had about nine days to really get fresh. We had some great practices and it turned into good playing.

We had a tough time stopping Aldridge down the stretch. Our guards are very good finishers. There were times when we got to the rim and he made us change our shots.

We are smaller than them, but we are quicker and we have depth. When we speeded it up, I thought that was to our advantage.

Obviously, we always want to have Allan on the floor. But to beat a good team, you've got to be able to recover from that.
cunningham east frazier game guys incredible jason kept league louisville number obviously runs shots tells time
Obviously this was an incredible Big East battle. We just said to ourselves, this is BIG EAST game No. 1 - it tells you what this league will be like...Timely shots by Allan Ray, Jason Frazier and Dante Cunningham kept us in the game. Every time Louisville made runs at us, those guys made big plays. Game number one in the Big East, that's what it's going to be like.

It's not really a problem right now. In June it could be, but right now, it's not.

For a kid who's a scorer and a shooter, that can really affect your psyche.
