advanced best east frank last players
Without Frank last year, we wouldn't have advanced in the Big East tournament. He's become one of our best passers and he is one of the better all-around players we have as well. Without Frank, we wouldn't be here now.
came last needed number percent range rely ridiculous shoot shots struggling tonight ways win year
Last year when we were struggling in the Big East, it was because we didn't know how to win if our shots weren't falling. But we're not going to shoot 60 percent or some ridiculous number from 3-point range every night, so we needed to find other ways to win. Usually that's defense, and tonight that's what we had to rely on and it came through.
believe game great last might people playing pressure shown southern team tournament
People might think we have expectations on us in this tournament because of last year, but we still feel we are underdogs. We're going into every game as if we are underdogs. We are playing a great team in Southern Illinois, they have shown that all year. They have been here a lot more times than we have and they have a lot of experience. I don't believe there is any more pressure on us than they have on them.
days last percent practiced three
I've practiced the last three days full-go, so I'll be 100 percent by tomorrow.
knowing last strange win
It was strange out there knowing it's your last time, but what better way to go out than with a win like this.
bounce couple game knew weeks win
We've got to bounce back and win a game at Syracuse. We knew a couple weeks ago we weren't going to be undefeated.
east state west
We're representing the Big East and the state of West Virginia.
expect knew obviously struggled team tough win
We didn't expect to win by 20 and obviously we struggled down the stretch. St. John's is a tough team and we knew they would make a run.
kevin
Every game, they're going to try to take Kevin and I out of the game.
believe bench both calves great job
Both of my calves cramped up really bad. I went back in, but they cramped up again. But, we believe in our bench and they did a great job once again.
aggressive second
We wanted to play more aggressive in the second half.
beat
If they out-rebound us by more than 20, I don't think we have a shot. That's how they beat teams, by rebounding over people.
beat best east hopefully obviously represent undefeated
Obviously we're in first place and undefeated in the Big East, so hopefully we can beat a Pac-10 team. It's going to be real tough, but we're going to try and represent the Big East as best we can.
maybe played teams yesterday
Maybe because we played yesterday we were tired. Teams like that you don't see very often will sometimes try different things. I think that's what they wanted to do.
