certainly good
I've got to think they're certainly good enough to be in there.
came certainly character defense good guards kevin patient pitt points question realize result scores shots took tried
No question Kevin came in here certainly on a mission, not that he wasn't when we went to Pitt, but I thought we were a little out of character that game. We tried probably to do too much and we didn't realize how good their defense is and we took shots that we thought were good shots, but in retrospect, they weren't because Pitt guards you. This time, Kevin was a little more patient and the result -- he scores 26 more points than he did the first time.
certainly english language million second unique
He's a one in a million kid. With English as his second language, it's certainly a unique situation.
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.
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.
good stress trying win
I'm trying to stress with (my team) how good this win is.
couple four games gave great learn mentally minute team three tough
In games like this there are little three or four minute spans when you've got to be mentally tough enough when that other team is really challenging you. They're distracting your game and you can't give in and I thought we gave in a couple of times and it will be a great thing for us to learn from.
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.

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.
far surprise talent
Nothing will be a surprise to us as far as the talent level.
against basically challenge extra played playing relaxing time volleyball
It's not a very relaxing time to have an extra day or two off for the coaches. It's always a challenge playing them because they've basically played volleyball against us on the backboards.
beating coming confident
It's not about beating the No. 1 team, it's about getting better every day. However, we should be confident coming out of 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.
