came downs handled maturity together ups
We had a lot of ups and downs but I think we handled them well. There's a lot of maturity on this team. We handled things well. And we came together at the right time.
came coming knew missing needed whoever
We've needed that all year, coming and not missing a beat, so whoever came in we knew it was the same intensity.
gave people playing
We're used to playing away games. Out of the 20,000 people that showed up, at least 17,000 were probably Villanova fans. It gave me a little motivation.
loud playing situations
We're used to playing away games. It was loud in there. It was crazy. But we've been in situations like that before.
good
We just didn't do a good enough job.
bucket came fed felt groove intensity
We came out with a lot of intensity from the get-go. In the first half, the rim kind of felt like a big bucket from 3-land, and I kind of got in a groove and just kind of fed off of that.
again equipment lost manager pack wearing
We haven't lost in them yet, the throwbacks. After we lost in the Big East, I know I told the equipment manager to pack up the throwbacks. We're not wearing the other ones again this whole season.
advantage continue games good might
We need to take advantage of these games and continue to win. They might be a little dinged up, but they are still a really good team. We can't have any slip-ups.
game writes
I think it's real big for someone like me. I write it down everyday. Every game he writes it, I write it down.
energy feed good maybe
It's good to be home. Maybe we can feed off our crowd's energy.
coming east gritty intense teams walk
It's going to be a grind-out game. It's going to be a Big East game. It's not going to be a walk in the park. With No. 1 on our chests, a lot of teams are coming for us, especially Pitt. With their gritty attitude, it's going to be an intense game...This is like a fight. It's more like 1-on-1-on-1-on-1-on-1.
bit coming high knowing ranked surprised team tough
It surprised me a little bit knowing them. I think they were ranked pretty high coming into the preseason. You always know they're going to be a tough team during the Pac-10.
ball guess loose saw smarter
Day by day he's getting smarter and smarter. I guess he just saw a loose ball and got after it.
east either tank tough turn
They've had some tough losses. Either they're going to tank it, or they'll come out in the Big East and turn it up a notch.
