I really don't know what to say. I'm thrilled with the win. We're 2-0 in the league, but every night is going to be a battle.
four guy hands holding kept team telling whose
I just kept telling the guys, 'I don't know whose team that is out there, but it's not us on offense,'... Four of them holding their their hands up and one guy going one-on-one -- it was a little frustrating.
basketball best heart pursue staff supposed trying
In my heart, this is where I'm supposed to be. I told the players, I never pursue a job. I never have. I never will. I was just trying to do what was best for our staff and our basketball program.

If you put a gun to my head, I would say we would get four in. But there's a lot of basketball left, and the upsets will hurt a lot of at-large teams.

If you look at the stats, you back off him a little bit and that's probably what Tennessee did.

If you look at the numbers, we almost played a perfect half offensively. It took that, because I thought Tennessee played at a high, high level (Saturday). I thought they played really good. Our guys just wanted it.

If you could have been at our practice the other day, the pressure is off. We had our best practice we've had in months. We carried that 23-year wait around with us. No matter what happens, if we go and lose in the first round and don't make the NCAA Tournament, you can't take that league championship away from us.

I don't know if it's a measuring stick. But I do know one thing: we're fired up to play a Big East school. It's the best league in the country.

We kept going to him, kept thinking he was going to get tired. He was tremendous in the second overtime.

We had some unfair scrutiny, but we didn't feel the pressure. I think this obviously helps. It helps Craig Littlepage. I think he feels a little better about the Valley.
happening tired
Finally, we made the shot. I'm excited. I'm happy. I'm tired of it happening to us.
