atmosphere good picked
I told our guys, we're not picked in any polls. I think for this group, that's probably a very good atmosphere for them to be in.
chris guys key obvious rest swagger
It's obvious that Chris Quinn is such a key for us. He's just got to play with that swagger and the rest of the guys are confident. So is his coach.
best finishing luck sorry talented
They're a talented group. I know they haven't had the best of luck finishing games, but we can't feel sorry for them.
certainly confident dribble explosive guard heck shooting
They're really athletic. They guard the heck out of you and certainly are very explosive off the dribble and shooting the 3-point shot. It's a very confident team.
basketball gave hurt key poised second shots
They're a very poised basketball team. We gave up second shots at key times. That really hurt us.
east field heck honored knew team
They're a heck of a team. They're really good, but we knew the field was going tough. Like I told our guys, they're a Big East team and we're honored to be in it.
bit good hopefully locker smile smiles therapy
It was important for them to smile a little bit in the locker room. We haven't been able to do that in awhile. Hopefully that's good therapy for us as we get back to work.
good hopefully locker smile smiles
It was important for them to be able to smile in the locker room. Hopefully that's good therapy.
fair falls felt tie
Then I think we got tight. We pressed. It's fair to say that (Colin) Falls and Quinn, I felt for them. You want it so bad, you tie yourself up in knots.
build time
That's the first time we've had that. We really need to build on that.
basketball biggest city face games next three trying week york
We know we face the biggest basketball week of our lives. We're trying to get to New York City with the three games we have next week.
position scratch trying york
We're in a position where we're just trying to scratch our way to New York City.
bed chris clean law rest runner shot work
I'll go to bed with a Chris Quinn runner for the rest of my life. It's the law of averages, but it didn't work out. He makes that shot a lot, and he had a clean look, too.
close door eight elite last office reached sitting virginia west year
I know because I'm sitting in the seat. I think about last year when West Virginia -- which started 1-5 in the Big East, then reached the Elite Eight -- was struggling. They could close the door to the coach's office and say, 'At least we're going to New York.' Now we may not have that.
