Those kids, many of them were passed over by Big East schools and others. I tip my hat to their courage, to their conviction to staying with what they have, to the incredible coaching job that Jimmy did. That's going to be a very happy group down in Fairfield County, I'm sure.

attack games moderate past six success
We just didn't have any idea who each other was or how to attack this zone. In the past two years we've had six games with Syracuse. And we've had moderate success in that time.
