looking second somebody step
We kind of let down in the second half, we let them come back. We kind of got out of our offense. We were looking for somebody to step up.
definitely full hard minutes point practice seconds shot since syracuse talking
Since the Syracuse game, every practice we're talking about going hard for 40 minutes and the full 35 seconds on the shot clock. That's definitely been a point of emphasis.
against basketball chance defense great half offense ourselves redeem second shooting team took west
A chance to redeem ourselves. We just weren't ourselves in the Villanova game. They took us out of our offense and defense and in the second half we didn't get out on shooters as much as we could. If we do the same thing against West Virginia, it's going to be the same thing because they're a great three-point shooting team as well.
east fact force gone honestly instead kinda knowing minutes ready second title tough watch ways
I honestly had to force myself to watch part of the (Big East title game) on Saturday. It's just so tough knowing it could have gone so many different ways and it was just the fact that we didn't show up ready to play. Instead we kinda showed up to play 10 minutes into the second half.
close five four kept key needed second shots stayed stops tough within
It always is. That's how they really stayed in the game. They were just really, really tough tonight. They didn't let us get a 10-point cushion. They kept it within four or five all second half. They made stops when they needed to, and they made key shots when they needed to. So, it was close down the stretch.
bit line road second traded
We traded baskets with them a little bit in the second half. We can't do that on the road and we can't do that down the line in the tournament.
ball bunch final game hope last matter ready realize soon throw waiting
It was just a matter of being ready to play. It's a matter of being ready as soon as they throw the ball up, not waiting 10 minutes. ... I hope we look at this and realize we can't ever do this again. Because if so, that's going to be the last game for a bunch of us. This is that final wake-up call.
call sleep
Once again, we've had another wake-up call and we know we can't sleep through a game.
fun looser start
Nothing to lose. It makes you feel looser and play a little more freely. When you do that, you start to have a little more fun and things start to go your way more often than not.
next worried
I have no idea what I'm doing next year. I'm not worried about that right now.
bottom definitely focus good line playing
It's definitely going to be fun. I haven't been able to get back in a long time, but the bottom line is we're playing basketball. It's going to be good to see people, but at the same time, we need to focus on what we need to do.
bump cuts definitely fight force front strength
That's definitely the strength of their team. They force you out of your offense, they bump you on all your cuts and front you in the post. They never give up. They fight you for everything.
came east giving intensity matching matter mentality team toughest
They came in with the mentality that they (Villanova) are the toughest team in the Big East and we came in with the same one. It was just a matter of us matching that same intensity and giving it right back to them.
found game match ourselves physical tough
They were so tough and physical we found ourselves having to match them. That was the roughest game I've been in.
