choose definitely early excited garden kid man slam son telling wants
The young man was definitely excited about the Garden and St. John's, but it wasn't a slam dunk. Anthony told me early on: 'I'm not telling my kid where to go. We may be friends, but my son is going to choose where he wants to go.'

They have a great player, he makes unbelievable shots. Most people don't make those shots.

They're a very, very, very good team. They deserve to be No. 1, no doubt about that.

You're never gonna win on the road turning it over as many times as we did. We turned it over 27 times and that's the most turnovers I think we've had all year in a game.

Anthony is getting better every game. He can really shoot the basketball, and he's coming into his own as far as putting it on the floor, rebounding and playing with energy throughout the whole game.

Give Quincy credit. We tried to guard him but he makes you pay. He's a terrific player and he hit some big-time bombs today.

My team, we are not a great scoring team. And if we do not have a defensive mindset, that hurts us.

I'm really, really proud of the kids. We kept telling the guys about sticking together. We went through a hard road, playing four nationally ranked teams in a row and three of them on the road. I'm proud that we stuck together and understood we could get it done if we just stayed focused and did the things we knew we could do.

In the second half we played with energy, we played hard. We had to attack the basket and we did.
dad decision felt good pressure process recruiting son worked
All through the recruiting process his dad was involved, but he wanted to let his son make his own decision. He didn't want his son to come to St. John's because he felt pressure to come to New York. His son made his own decision and I think it worked out pretty good for him.
against anybody basketball capable coming energy focus games good playing share teams win
These games show we are capable of playing with anybody if we have the focus and energy we need to have. Now we have games coming against non-ranked teams that are still good basketball teams and we have to play with the same passion. If we do that, we will win our share of games.
