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.
call good jersey knew tough
We know that they're going to play good defense. We call it the New Jersey defense, the strong, tough defense. We knew that they were going to play that way.
shooting tough
If we're shooting well, we're a tough out.
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.
half less second tough
It's tough to explain. I think we had less turnovers in the second half than we had in the first.
great love marvel respect though tough yankees york
They were like the New York Yankees in that it was tough to love them, even though you had great respect for them. Now, I look back at them and I'm a coach, and I just marvel at what they were able to accomplish. I mean, they've had nothing but success.
hope people playing road test tough
I hope people don't think, all of a sudden, you're not playing well. You're just playing better teams, you're playing on the road and it's a tough test for all of us.
almost chris defense good guard impossible tough
He's incredible. There is not a defense for some people, and Chris Quinn is almost impossible to defend. You look at him and think 'Here's this choirboy. He's not going to be able to do anything.' But he is as tough and as good a guard as there is in the Big East.
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.
good
We just try to get good shots. We take what's given.

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.
direction excited games good national possibly speaks teams television top unless year
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.
