We gave them four wide open shots at the beginning of the game. You can't do that against a quality team like Villanova.
Our schedule is difficult, we know that. We're not going into the Big East off six or seven easy wins. We've had to battle. Now we've got more of the same ahead of us.
They got off to a little bit of a bad start. And we didn't take advantage of that.
They're just too strong for us right now, ... Pittsburgh is a veteran team. I thought they were underrated all along.
They're a very good defensive team, and they deserved to win the basketball game.
A team that can beat anybody, any night, any place. I still think they're the best team in our conference, and I think they're the best team in the country.
You start thinking about it a little bit more. I'm going out recruiting Sunday so that takes a little bit of the edge off.
You can't let him get open. When he got open he made two (three-pointers). I thought we did a good job of finding him and not letting him get set.
You can't let him get loose. He showed what he can do when it gets open by hitting those two threes in the second half. For the most part, we did a good job of not letting him get set.
There's a level of familiarity that can be helpful if you've been here before. It's not a magic bullet, but it helps.
This is a team that can beat anybody any night and any place.
This is one of the best, if not the best, wins we've ever had at Syracuse.
This is the best one for sure, ... It even fits perfectly. It has permanently banished all of the bad sport coats.
Defensively, we did a good job, as well as you could expect at this stage of the year. We really helped each other. Our inside guys did a nice job. We really didn't give them too many open looks. We were very good.
