against beat both good successful
We have been successful against a No. 1 and a No. 2 seed, and that's pretty good to beat both in the same year.
level played top
We played to the top level that we can play. Unfortunately, so did Cincinnati.
everybody hope issue rotation talent
We'll use a 10-man rotation and everybody just has to give us enough. I hope that's not an issue. The issue will be the talent we face.
fans four nice
We've had four (of these) with other fans celebrating at our expense, so it was nice to see our fans get a chance.
hard prepare staple team
The 1-3-1 is very hard to prepare for in just one day. It was a staple of everybody's team in the 1970s.
basketball great pace pushed tempo
That was a great basketball game. Their tempo is incredible. No one had pushed us at that pace all year.
That's the thing I think of when I think of this rivalry. That's when I sensed it was something special.
change changeable missed momentum stock
That's way overrated. Momentum can change so quickly. One injury, one missed shot, a missed dunk, technical. Momentum is too changeable for me to put much stock in it.
That's a very important thing, and I'll let him make that choice.
basketball distracted hope seem
I would hope he's distracted like crazy. This is a pretty big event. It makes basketball seem like nothing.
game imagined intense
I would never have imagined that. I don't know if this game can be any more intense than it is right now.
defense excellent game great open played shots
(Marshall) played a great game and they're getting better every day. I thought they just played excellent defense on us. We did all of the things we wanted to do to get open shots and they just didn't go in.
beaten felt good quality win
It felt like 10 years ago that we had beaten a really good team. We didn't have that quality win yet.
against certainly dunk giant good league merit player playing realize
I think he has to dunk on you, like two times, before you realize you're playing against a giant of a man. Hicks is as good a player as there is in the league and certainly a player who will merit (All-Big East) first-team considerations.
