easy foul route top
We were going to foul in the six- to five-second range. But he had such an easy route all the way to the top of the key.
act committed favor kids quite three thrown
Three out of 63 kids who committed the same act were thrown out of school. The percentage, quite frankly, was in his favor not to have it happen.
I can tell you right now, it will be X-rated.
feeling imagine locker
I can only imagine the feeling they must have on that campus, in that locker room. It's something they probably never imagined.
applaud deserved feeling imagine imagined locker
I can only imagine the feeling they must have in that locker room, on that campus. They couldn't have imagined this, but they've done it. I applaud them. They deserved to win.
ben butler gets happen kid looks move starting validation
From Caron Butler - and there's no validation this automatically has to happen - to Ben Gordon, it looks like Rudy is starting to make the move to where we think he can be. He is going to get there, there's no question. It's just that every kid gets there at different times.

basketball ounce played
I don't think we played an ounce of basketball after that.
college difference guys happened hard maybe minutes played providence seniors shake shot tenacity three took
I don't think we shot well (38.7 percent), but I think we played well and yet it took us 30 minutes to shake them, maybe 35 minutes to shake them.

The three guys who I think played really well for us happened to be seniors and that makes a difference in college basketball.
friday next thinking
I don't want them thinking about Marquette and LSU next week. We've got to get by (Quinnipiac) on Friday night.
civic half kids matched playing pride quite scoreboard second won
I don't want our kids playing the scoreboard because, quite frankly, we won't always be here at the Civic Center. In the second half we matched baskets and we won by five. I don't think we should do that. We should take more pride in what we're doing.
days east game kids regular season win
For us to tell our kids that this is just a regular season game ... we've always set goals, to try to win the Big East championship. To back away from that a day before or two days before the game would be foolhardy.
beat pittsburgh
For us to go any place, we have to beat Pittsburgh. And for Pittsburgh to go, they have to kind of go by us.
anyone hitting ray team unique
I don't know what kind of adjustments you can make when Allan Ray is hitting 28-footers. Villanova is a very unique team for anyone to play.
