I think they're a very good defensive team. If you watched the game, you know why he wasn't in the game. Gerry could not make plays.
We have struggled a little bit but we have lost five games to teams that were ranked in the Top Ten. This is a tough league. We still have tough games ahead. Every game in this league is a must win.
We've got some really good teams. It's going to take a major upset for somebody to beat Connecticut. And three or four of our other teams are good enough to make a Final Four, maybe five.
We've learned some things about our team this week.
We have to play better defense. Our field-goal percentage defense is the worst it's been since I've been here. We've got to play better the rest of the way. There's still a lot of time. A lot can happen.
Most of the people in the Hall are on a different level from me,
who knew we'd get another chance so soon?
You know, they're a gambling pressure team. Eric just got a little careless a couple times.
We got to play probably the two best teams in the conference besides Connecticut back-to-back in the road for television. That's just crazy.
We haven't increased the number of teams in a long time and the quality has increased so much, I would have thought it would have been expanded a long time ago. This year more than ever there were teams that barely got in or didn't get in that can win games.
We could have lost all four games, all four.
We just didn't do a good job on the boards in the first half. We did a better job in the second half.
We have three games in one week, which means you'll have one day of practice. Somehow, we need to get a little more proper spacing with the games.
We never made it through nine holes, ... If you were smart, you would have bet the under every time.
