The only thing that surprised me was that it took so long to come back. That shows how well they were playing. We were playing great, and they never folded. We had to take it from them.

We've got to fight now. There's nothing else to it but to fight.

game games home losing lost option saying
We keep saying every game is crucial. We've lost some games at home. Losing at home is not an option now.
fell last lost rest year
Everything fell into place. This was a confidence-builder, but there is still a sense of urgency. I don't know where we'd be if we had lost this game, but this is my last year and I don't want to play in the NIT. We've got to play like this the rest of the way.

We've played with all the top teams in the league. We just have to cut down on the mental mistakes at the end of the game and not let them be a factor.

We felt at that point there was no way we were losing.
I thought it was good, it just didn't fall.

Our losses have been coming at the end of games. That shows the youth of this team. We got beat by a better team today. Even with me hurting, my teammates stayed in the game. It came down to a couple possessions at the end where we needed stops, and we didn't get them.

That was amazing. He's one of the best leaders in sports. He just told us that it's all about team, that there can be no egos, and you just have to do whatever's necessary to win. After hearing that, I knew that's exactly what we had to do.

That's the road for you. Once you get the crowd going against you everything comes out of joint.
ball guys shooting team tough
I think they are a better team than Villanova. Their frontcourt guys are just so physical. With Quinn and those guys shooting the ball the way they do, they are a tough team to play against.
guys team
I think they are a better team than Villanova, because their frontcourt guys are much more physical.
career coming definitely ending feeling game hurt imagine last losing louisville played pride remember time
Our pride was hurt the last time we played there. We remember the feeling coming back to Louisville after losing to Pittsburgh, so we definitely wanted to go back and give a better performance. Can you imagine your career ending with a game like Pittsburgh?
