good players worth
Good players are worth nothing if you don't have good chemistry. Good players are good teammates.
anybody
I don't think anybody thought we were slow-paced then.
bothered confidence eight elite five game happened lack last led lose louisville maybe texas twice until
I don't think until the Louisville game (in the Elite Eight last season) did we ever lose a game we led in the last minute. Then it happened to us twice in five days. I think (the Texas loss) bothered us for at least another game. Maybe there was a little lack of confidence after that.
almost chris defense good guard impossible tough
He's incredible. There is not a defense for some people, and Chris Quinn is almost impossible to defend. You look at him and think 'Here's this choirboy. He's not going to be able to do anything.' But he is as tough and as good a guard as there is in the Big East.
handled learn
I don't like the way we handled a lot of things, but we're going to learn from this game.
corners glad guys kick
I'm glad he made it. They had their guys in the corners to try to kick it out for the tie.
basketball college everywhere exposure hand run wears
In the long run I'll have to see if it wears down our team. Jim's got a point, but on the other hand the exposure of college basketball is everywhere and we want to be a part of that.
far momentum
I know they have a lot to gain. But we're going in with a lot to gain, too, as far as momentum for the tournament.
conference couple missouri next southern strong teams tournament valley
I know very little about Southern Illinois, but I'll know a lot in the next couple days. The Missouri Valley Conference has strong teams in the tournament every year.
east gain momentum terms walking west win
I know we'll be walking into a hotbed. They have a lot to gain by a win over West Virginia. But we're going in there with a lot to gain as well, in terms of momentum going into the Big East Tournament.
believe help unbalanced
The unbalanced schedule, I think, may help some teams, believe it or not.
best country free freshman numbers players pressure ranked shoot team throws types unique unusual year
A.J. Abrams is a unique player. That's very unusual for a freshman to shoot the 3 that well, have those assist-to-turnover numbers and shoot free throws that well with the pressure of being on a nationally ranked team all year long. The best players in the country don't have those types of numbers as freshmen.
certain everybody hard last learn running takes throws time
The last two possessions we did not do what we wanted to do. We were running a certain pattern, and one time we got confused. It just takes one person to get confused, and it throws everybody off. That's just the way it goes. We'll learn something from it. It's hard to do that in that atmosphere.

Freshman want to play. Sophomores want to start. Juniors want to score. Seniors want to win
