enjoy experience good guys last ncaa playing rather
Rather than those gut-wrenching last seconds, it was good to just get some of these guys out of there and let them enjoy the experience of playing in the NCAA Tournament.
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.
against chance crowd deal great heck home means playing question team top
We need to play with confidence, there's no question about it. It means a great deal for us to be playing at home with a great crowd against a great team with a chance for us to be in the top of the Big East. That's a heck of an accomplishment.
bags came canal cramps ice knew players playing root second
You knew it was going to be like a root canal in the second half. They just came after us with everything they had, but in the end we are still standing. You look at our players right now and we got ice bags all over the place, cramps all over the place, but we did not quit. So we keep on playing for at least one more game.
highest level louisville playing
I think Louisville is playing at the highest level they have all year.
caught created deep knew maybe playing problems wore
Maybe we got a little fatigued there. We keep playing and playing and maybe that caught up with us a little. I created the problems a little. I knew that we were not going back to Morgantown for one day. That wore on us, because we're not a deep team. We need rest.
good looking playing southern team
When you play a team like Southern Illinois, you're looking in the mirror. They are a very good team that has had a very good season, or else we wouldn't be playing them.
ball playing thrilled
We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
playing rhythm teams tough zone
It's tough to get in a rhythm in this league. You can go to playing teams who play all zone one day, to teams who play all (man-to-man defense) the next.
freshman impressive playing pressure type
It's very, very impressive right now for a freshman playing in that type of pressure situation.
advantage playing second seems team year
It seems like a year ago that we played. I don't know if it's an advantage playing a team a second time.
defense dug hold late lead playing rebounds tight ugly
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.
clinic complete developing good kevin playing
I thought we put on a pretty good clinic for most of the game. Kevin is really playing well and developing into a complete player.
balls difficulty keeping playing shot
He was just playing so hard. He had difficulty with his shot but was out there keeping balls alive.
