anybody appreciate bent bit build came claimed competition envelope hoped jewel loves people push shape terms thinking
I came to Rutgers to try to build Rutgers to become the jewel of the East. I really think a lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the East. I don't know where you're going to get 'jewel' when you are undiscovered and unpolished. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the East. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.

When I looked in the faces of the senior class, this is the class as freshman that had nine wins and 20 losses. People gave up on us, but they (the seniors) didn't.
confused defending great greatness national people represents
I think that because Connecticut represents national champions, people should not get confused about what Connecticut is. Connecticut is a national power. They have been defending national champions. What makes Connecticut great is because they represent such greatness and accomplishment. So (a win) would say a lot.
kids kinds last people quickly second seconds understand until wait
Kids don't play every second like it's their life. Those kinds of people are probably the ones who think that in the last seconds we're going to come back, or wait until we do this or do that, but they don't understand how quickly it escapes.

I know they were embarrassed and they all came out to play and put it together today. So I'm happy for them because I know they were hurt.
ball extremely fact liked seven turned
I liked the fact that we only turned the ball over seven times. That's a major. And we had 17 assists. That's an extremely important category. But I don't like the way we executed.
aware concerned formidable fully night personal playing remember senior
It's something we've thought about. We are concerned about it. Senior Night is always a personal game, and we have a formidable task. I remember playing Notre Dame, going down, 17-1. We're fully aware of it.

Everybody's coming to the same party. We're all here.

It was great to see our team execute. We really moved the ball, we got good shots and we were looking for each other. It was one of the better games I've seen in a long time, and it can't come at a better time than now.

It was great to see our team execute, move the ball, take great shots, play defense, it was nice to see them play so free. It was one of the better games I've seen in a long time and it comes at no better time than now.

I'm glad we got that one out of the way. When it came down to it, we didn't put pressure on them for the entire game. So we ran the risk of getting embarrassed.
