cut game mental mistakes played teams top
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.
basketball college played playing teams
Real college basketball begins. Now it's 'get after it.' The teams we played were great, but now the teams we're playing are much tougher. We have to be ready.
chance drained east future guys locker national room start team win
We were a drained team after the Big East Tournament, but we're energized now. There's only one championship we have a chance to win, and that's this one. What we're doing right now is a springboard to the future for this program. There are guys in this locker room who will win a national championship, and that can all start right here.
beat came coming couple losses needed shows stayed team teammates youth
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.
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.
good guys peaked realize surface team touched type
The good thing is we haven't peaked yet. We haven't touched the surface of what type of team we can be. When our guys realize how good we can be we're going to be tough.
fighting forward looking sure
I'm sure they've been looking forward to this game. But we're just here fighting for our survival.
next
It's not for me, it's for years to come. This is a springboard for next year.
senior
I have nothing to say. As a senior leader, it's tough.
almost definitely family garden guys home miss playing special state
I had to miss playing in the (Madison Square) Garden (against St. John's), but this is definitely one I didn't want to miss. I'll have a lot of family and friends there. For guys from Jersey, this is almost like playing in the Garden. You go back to your home state to play, it's a special thing.
thinking
I'm not thinking about a record. I'm just thinking about winning.
coming weight
It was like old times. It was like a big weight coming off my shoulders, actually.
draw looked
They looked confused. They'd draw up a play, and we'd still come out and keep them out of what they wanted to do.
