defense definitely good held second
It definitely was not a 16-point game. We held them 20 under what they usually score, and we didn't even play good defense in the second half.
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.'
basket close definitely guys hard played throughout
Our thought our guys battled hard, played hard throughout the whole game. They couldn't make a basket there at the end...pretty close to, but just couldn't put any in. It definitely was not a 16-point game.
build great win
This was a great win for us. Now we have to build on it.
bother good job leadership quick regroup
We're young, and we let too many things bother us too quick as a team. And that's when leadership comes in, and we didn't do a good job of leadership tonight. We'll regroup and come back.

We're not in it for moral victories. We've got a good basketball team. We have to continue to get better. They have so many weapons, they can beat you in so many ways.
against basketball excited focused good great guys lifetime opportunity realize stay team top
We just have to stay focused on what we do and realize this is a great opportunity for us to play against a very good basketball team. Our guys are excited to play the top team in the nation. You don't always get these opportunities in a lifetime or career.

We did a great job of getting out and pressuring them. We made them catch it a little further out, which made them a little uncomfortable.
against anyone beat given good guys huge league louisville program win
That was a huge win for our program because we're rebuilding. The way this league is set up now is incredible. Anyone can beat anyone else on any given night. Being 2-2 is good for us. We know we have a long way to go. But, hopefully, the win against Louisville will give our guys some confidence.
basketball road statement tough toughness
I think this is a statement that we are improving. We are a tough basketball team. We have to take that toughness on the road as well as home.
defensive great hurts scoring
My team, we are not a great scoring team. And if we do not have a defensive mindset, that hurts us.
credit good job percent plays shot struggling today
Give DePaul credit. They did a good job of making plays down the end. They had been really struggling down the line. They shot 92 percent today so they did a good job at that.
ball great guy open
Gino did a great job; the ball just didn't fall. And Darryl was just being unselfish. He thought someone was open and the guy made a steal.
bombs credit guard hit player terrific tried
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.
