A team that can beat anybody, any night, any place. I still think they're the best team in our conference, and I think they're the best team in the country. |
At times maybe he could play harder. It comes and goes. We need more consistency from him. He's our inside presence. |
Before the start of the conference, Eastern basketball was quite fragmented, ... The Big East gave Eastern basketball a national identity, and the Dome was the perfect stage for those nationally televised games. |
But when they're freshman and sophomores, George Mason can beat that team. |
Connecticut is a team that can beat anybody, anytime, anyplace. They're the best team in our league, in the country. They've been there. They know what they're doing. They've got veteran guys who know how to play, know how to win. |
Connecticut really dominated inside, as they are going to do against most people. We've got to get our offense going if we're going to have any chance to be where we would like to be at the end of the year. |
Darryl probably played as well in that game as any center we've ever had in the minutes he played. He's got to be able to sustain that over 30 minutes, stay out of foul trouble and still maintain that kind of effort. Above all, he's got to be there for us defensively and rebounding. |
Dave Bing is the player who raised this program from the ashes, ... He made all this possible. |
Defensively, we did a good job, as well as you could expect at this stage of the year. We really helped each other. Our inside guys did a nice job. We really didn't give them too many open looks. We were very good. |
Derrick gave everybody a pep talk at halftime. I should have let him come in the locker room. |
Eric took the same shots he did against Connecticut except they blocked them. |
Even though you wouldn't want to be in that play-in game, you're still in the tournament. That's a lot better feeling than not being in the tournament. |
Every game's tough, and you have to play well every game. We've got to start playing better or we're going to struggle. |
Everybody wants the opportunity, no matter what you do in the regular season, to get to your league tournament, but we knew the rules. |
First of all, I want to start off with a profound abject apology for my language yesterday. |
