We have more options. We can go a little bit more conventional at times when we have to.
beat bit gaining hunger rather tournament understanding winning
I'd much rather go into this tournament after winning the Big East, but now that we haven't, I think what we will take from that is gaining a little bit of hunger and the understanding that we can get beat by anybody.
anytime beat bit hunger regain understanding
What we'll take from that is to regain a little bit of hunger and an understanding that we can get beat anytime by anybody.
bit fit freshmen hearing incredible realize regular season sick talked team
They know so much about the other teams. They don't know anything about themselves, about where they fit in. I talked to them about it a little bit yesterday. I said the freshmen were going to be sick of hearing about this team from me because what they did in this regular season was incredible ... But I don't think they realize where they fit.

I think we are a little bit more experienced, probably a little bit. We are very similar, but they are a lot different.
bit coaches fans great guys happens hell lost players sure today toughest understood win
It?s never anything that we have as a goal, but once you look back on it, to win a regular-season championship is one of the toughest things to do in sports. Coaches and players know that. Fans usually get into tournaments and things like that. And that?s OK. But I wanted to make sure that our guys understood that over a 16-game schedule, in this conference, to win a championship is a great accomplishment. If we would have lost today and been 13-3 in this conference, that?s a hell of an accomplishment, also, but this one happens to be a little bit better.
al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
best gather handled impressed incredibly season sit wants
We will sit down when the season is over and we will gather all the information, and there is no one that wants what's best for him more than any of us. I have been incredibly impressed with the way he has handled this.
loving students
The students are all yelling, 'Final Four, Jay,' ... It's fun. We're loving it.
coaches earn high honor obviously regard
Is that with an asterisk? ... It's an honor because obviously the coaches have a high regard for our players. Now we have to go out and earn it.
Right now we're No. 3, so I like it.
familiar
Pretty cool. I think that all of us are pretty familiar with each other.
ball control played second spread
Offensively, in the first half, I thought we played all right. Also, we just couldn't control Quincy. Second half, I thought we spread the ball out pretty well.
billy group incredible job year
Billy (Donovan) has done an incredible job getting this group together. I think what we all see in them this year is an outstanding team. They just really play off each other.
