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.

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.

basketball college defensive drilling game hit incredible offensive percentage shot teams terrible
We're pretty defensive-minded and when you look at Louisville's defensive percentage and the 3s they hit, you just feel terrible about how you played. Then you look and we hit 14 3s and that's unbelievable. That was just an incredible college basketball game with two outstanding offensive teams drilling big shot after big shot.
