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.
fever game pitch played
I was very pleased, very proud. We played every possession. We played at fever pitch and that's what put the game away early.
great intensity level minutes played start
I thought it was a great start for us and I thought that we played with great intensity for 40 minutes and everyone contributed at the level we want to play.
against anywhere college gerry home last loved magnitude means played player playing terms
I don't know what to expect. I don't think we've ever played anywhere against a player of this magnitude in terms of what he means to a program, in terms of what he means to college basketball. A player that's as loved as Gerry McNamara playing his last home game? I don't know if we'll ever do this again.
east environment good incredible league lose played prepared team
Obviously, that was an incredible Big East battle. I think that's what this league is going to be about. We haven't played a team this good in an environment like this. I was actually prepared to come in here and lose and learn.
anyone early oklahoma played test
When we played Oklahoma early in the year, that was the test for us. We just thought we're going to have to do this because we don't have anyone else ready.
basketball gave great guys hurt played ran suck sure team tonight
We ran into a team that played better basketball today. We're going to suck up this hurt tonight but I want to make sure my guys feel great about themselves. They gave everything they had.
basketball played ran shoot team
We ran into a team that played better basketball than us. I think we can play a lot better and we can shoot a lot better, and the other team had a lot to do with that. They were really good.
four happy minutes pain played prepared
We're always prepared not to have him and it's been that way for four years. We're happy for him personally. He isn't in pain and he played 26 minutes that way.
boards games offensive played poorly shot won
We've won games that way. We've shot poorly and then got on the offensive boards and played defense. They were just too good.
consistent count guy played veteran
He played like a veteran tonight. He's the most consistent guy we have. That's what we count on him for.
came good guys happened intrigued kyle mike played players playing
If he and Mike came, we wouldn't be able to get Kyle (Lowry). If we didn't get Mike and got (Shakur), we probably could get Kyle. Players like playing with good players. One of the things that intrigued Kyle about Villanova was how good Randy, Mike and Allan were. When he came and played with them I think he was impressed. Sometimes some of these guys like being around other real good players and I think that's what happened in Kyle's case.
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.
