When we got into overtime, I said we're in pretty good shape right now. We had new life and we needed an adrenaline shot and we got it, that was great, new life, and it's only 48 hours removed from (the Washington game).

care coming defense game good guys last late louisville minutes needed shots stretch took turned
What Louisville needed late in the game was experience. That's what we had, some guys coming down the stretch who know what to do. We turned our defense up in the last 4 1/2 minutes of the game, we took care of the ball, took good shots and made good decisions. This was a grind-it-out game.
evolve good highlight hopefully road step
We're going to have to evolve into a good road team. Right now we're not. We weren't at Marquette at least. (Tonight) will hopefully be the first step in that direction. And it is a highlight game.

We've accomplished a lot. Twenty-two and two is a good start but we're going to have to finish the deal. The deal takes place over the next couple of weeks.
capable good played win
Overall, I thought it was a good win for us, but I don't think we played as well as we're capable of.
east games good lesson minutes regular season
Over 16 Big East regular season games, we were good. Over 29 games this season, we were good. But every game you have to show up. Today's 40 minutes are the most important 40 minutes. Our Big East season is over. Hopefully, this is a good lesson for us.
bother degree fourth good kids semester three thrown
Out of 63 kids who had a fourth degree felony, three were thrown out of school, so the percentages were all in his favor. And he was thrown out for a semester for basketball. With that said, I didn't think he had a good game. I do think that things bother him.
against good guy last
Right now, that guy would be Denham (Brown). In the last two games, it's been Denham against very good defense.
coaching continue evening feels good great guys happens players
It feels good so many guys contributed. We, the coaching staff, to some degree, have become so reliant on Rudy and he didn't have a particularly good evening and that happens to great players and will continue to happen.
felt games good shape team walking win winning
I still felt right to the end we would win the game. This team is walking out 30-4. If we keep winning 30 games a year, I think we'll be in pretty good shape and we'll win our championships again. We didn't get there this year, but we'll do that.
basketball blocked game good indiana matter minutes moments playing proud ran team
I think Indiana is a very good basketball team. I just think there were moments and minutes in that game where we were pretty special. It didn't matter who we were playing because we blocked everything, we ran out and we made good decisions. I'm very proud of my basketball team today.
