Going into these tournaments, momentum is way overrated. Look how we went into last year, with that loss to Seton Hall and then an unbelievable bus trip to New York.
defense guys love marriage offense passes plays shoots skill
His skill level, and my love for having big guys who can shoot, made the marriage work. He plays and shoots and passes the way I like our big guys to do it to make our offense and defense work.

He's getting there, ... It's going to take a lot of hard work. Our hope is that Kevin will be able to outrun and out-condition the centers we play against. He's going to play a lot of minutes if he can do that.

Kevin came in here on a mission. I thought we were a little bit out of character at Pitt. We probably tried to do a little bit too much and probably didn't realize what good defense Pitt plays. We took shots we thought were good and they weren't because Pitt guards you.

When we were up 20 with 2 to go, I said to myself 'Even I can't blow this one. It was nice to not have those gut-wrenching final seconds.

When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.

When he dove for the ball he ended up getting stomach cramps. Something cramped up in his stomach and he couldn't do much after that.

We're all trying to get as many wins as possible and they took a major step with the win tonight. I thought they played tremendous defense on us. We couldn't make shots the way we normally do.
