We just really couldn't stop them defensively enough to get to where we wanted to go. They shot the ball well. They played well, ... We made some uncharacteristically bad turnovers in this game that really hurt us.
Is he the best player in the league? No, he's not. But he's the most important player on any team in the league. When Allan Ray is hurt, Villanova wins. If one or two guys from Connecticut have bad games, they still win. If Gerry doesn't play for us, we can't be in the game.
McNamara struggled tonight, it doesn't happen very often. He couldn't get anything going and we're not used to him having a bad game.
We made a couple bad mistakes at the end of the game. And fortunately Gerry corrected them.
Tonight was his first bad game of the year. You're going to have a bad game once in awhile. We're not used to him having a bad night. Usually if he's not shooting well, he's doing something well. He's making plays or doing something. But tonight he just had a bad game.
We've had too many bad turnovers and we've got to get that corrected.
We've got bad foul shooters, what can I say? We won.
They got off to a little bit of a bad start. And we didn't take advantage of that.
This is the best one for sure, ... It even fits perfectly. It has permanently banished all of the bad sport coats.
This was a good game for us. I like St. Rose. They get very good movement, they really tested us in some things. Defensively, that will help us. We didn't do a good job on the boards and had some really bad turnovers. Our young guys are going to make mistakes. You expect that.
He made some bad choices and got in some bad situations but we need him to make plays. We don't have other guys to make plays.
Gerry's got a pretty badly bruised thigh, but I think this rest will be good and he'll be able to come back next week.

We just played three teams I consider to be Top Ten teams and, right now, we're not a Top Ten team.
