locker national until wait
That was the first thing I said when I got back in the locker room, I can't wait until Monday. It's a big game, national TV.
basketball guess might people
During basketball, people get elbowed. I get elbowed in practice. It was nothing intentional. It's all in coach's hands. I guess they might appeal.
affected loss syracuse
The Syracuse loss really affected me. And I don't like that feeling.
came goes great miss next seniors short team year
There's only one team a year that goes out the way they want to go out. We didn't go out the way we wanted to go out this year, but the seniors were great. They were great leaders. I'm going to miss all that. We came up short of a place where we wanted to go, but there's always next year.
competition good played realizing start though took
We played down to our competition but they were really good, too. They had something to do with it. I give them credit. They play really good defense. Basically, we have to start realizing that we can't keep doing this - even though they never took the lead.
playing says syracuse win
We haven't been playing up to our capabilities lately. A win like this, a win at Syracuse ... I mean, we were up 24 in the Carrier Dome. That says something about who we are.
elbow guess hit playing remember
I don't even really remember what happened. I just put my elbow back and I guess I hit him. It wasn't intentional. I was just playing hard.
against games hard liked next start using week
We've just got to get better by using these games. Personally, me, yeah, I want to get those big games. I liked those games in Maui. I'm still going to play hard against Quinnipiac, but next week we start a bigger, real-deal season.
game hard last minutes played syracuse
It was like the last 15 minutes of the Syracuse game. We played hard and we got into each other.
bad basketball came game loss played road statement
That loss at Marquette was just a bad loss for us. We came back on the road at Syracuse. This was a statement game for us. We just went out there and played basketball and made a statement. The statement was that we're here and we're here to stay. We're not pushovers. We're not little boys. We're men out there.
basketball playing
It wasn't intentional or anything like that. I was just playing basketball.
beat glass happen hard next time tougher tried
It was real hard to just get it going. We tried to get on the glass and we kind of got beat up down there. Next time we have to come out tougher and we're really going to be ready. ... We're going to be hungry. We're not going to let that happen again, especially to them.
affected body felt game last limb loss syracuse
It really felt like it was the last game of the year. The Syracuse loss really affected me. I don't like that feeling. There's only one way out and that's give every limb of your body you've got.
pieces putting start
We really have to start putting the pieces together.
