half needed played second terrific win
It was a big win for us and we needed it. Dustin was terrific in the second half and we played much better defensively.
continue defense easy game goal good hold overall played second
Our goal this game was to hold them under 40. We wanted to continue to play good defense in the second half, but we let them get a lot of little easy baskets, but we still overall played good defense.
defense hard running saint time
Saint Joseph's defense switched, and we had a hard time running our patterns.
guy key plays
See that guy, that's the guy who's key for us. When he plays well, we play well.
definitely die five hit rumor thankful
It hasn't hit us yet. We're definitely surprised. Every year, there's a new rumor that he's going to leave, but we thought it would die down, just like always. It's sad. But I'm thankful I got to play for him for five years.
continued gone ourselves talk tank took ways
We could have gone two ways after that we could have gone in the tank and continued to play sub par. But we took it upon ourselves to talk to each other and try to come out and play better.
credit defensive far played supposed terrific
I give a lot of credit to Fordham. They played a terrific defensive game. But as far as our effort, it?s not where it?s supposed to be going into a do-or-die situation.
It's pretty exciting. I've got a lot of things going on right now.
basketball call knows late night talk tough transition watching
It's going to be tough for him because all he knows is basketball. He'd be up late at night watching film and call us to talk to us about basketball. I think it's going to be a tough transition for him.
beat came embarrass gave good played whatever
We want to try and embarrass them and beat them by 30. They gave us a pretty good butt kicking. I give them credit, they played well, but we came out with no energy, came out flat, and let them do whatever they wanted to do.
We've got aspirations of getting to the tournament, so this is going to be a big game.
figured finish game games intensity last minutes
We lacked that intensity the last 2 minutes because we figured the game was over. We've got to finish games better than that.

Those little incidents don't measure up to the things he's done here at Temple.
egg goose lay
To go up there the way we did and lay a goose egg like we did up there, it was horrible. We wanted to do it back.
