balls behind dive easier loose
We couldn't have done it without the crowd. It's a lot easier to dive for those loose balls when the crowd's behind you.

We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
ball beautiful sure throw
It sure wasn't a beautiful game. (Pitt) had 19 turnovers and we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.
above ball came chance guys needed rebound seemed threw time top unless
It seemed like any time they needed a hoop they threw it up in the air, over top of us and one of their guys came down with it. Any time the ball was above the rim, it was theirs. We had no chance of getting a rebound unless it came down under the rim.

We just try to get good shots. We take what's given.
fortunate liked road though tough trip win
We just had a really tough road trip at Pitt, Georgetown and at Seton Hall. There's not too many times you feel fortunate to win one out of three. But I do feel that way, even though we would have liked to win them all, or two out of three.

What's good about it is we played both Pitt and Louisville the past two weeks. We'll be prepared to make the final adjustments Thursday afternoon.

We're very excited about our television schedule. To go from one or two national games a year to possibly double-digit games on national television is good news, but you can't get on television unless you play the top teams in the country. It speaks well about the direction of our program.
bit credit schedule
The schedule is a little bit different this year. Don't give us too much credit yet.

The stats tell the story of the game. Pitt played a tremendous game. We'll learn a lot from this game. It was very hard to get open looks in this game.

Things were very quiet in the locker room. And then I asked for a moment of prayer.
blend defensive great hear maybe pittsburgh watching
They are a blend of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and maybe a Georgetown with the way they guard. They are just a great defensive team. You hear a lot about it, but, watching it with my own eyes, you can see they have great quickness.
