I know how many shots Noah blocked. I’m not sure how many shots he altered. He is outstanding.

That was a lot of heart. He said he felt good, but I knew he’d tell me that.

They could both, individually, put up better numbers if they were by themselves. But could they be 27-4? No. They couldn’t accomplish these things without each other, and they know that.

It means I won’t have to answer questions from recruits.

That just tells you how great everybody in this league is.

I actually feel a little guilty. We had home court tonight. I’d like to thank the fans coming out. They were great.

It’s his choice. He looks great. His vision is a lot better.

It’s basketball, man. We live and die with that. When the tough shots are going in, I’m not complaining.

It is an honor being picked by coaches in a league like this. Now we have to go out and earn it.

Every time we’ve been tested, they’ve answered the question.

You feel like they take coaching out of your hands. You feel like they’re coaches on the court. They’re going to make the right decisions and if they get fouled, they’re going to make their...

We will monitor Curtis’ recovery over the next few months. We plan to be very cautious as we move ahead. This is an incredibly gifted young man and he will be given as much time...

I just told him I loved him and there’s been nobody like them. They’ve set the tone for what we want great players to be.

They just don’t fear failure. They’ve been through so much. They’re going to play you for 40 minutes and whatever happens, happens.

I wanted him to shoot more. I said, ‘I’m not going to start you unless you shoot.’ Believe it or not, he’s unselfish.

I definitely see the comparison. Both teams had key senior leadership and I can see the parallel between Rudy Gay and Marvin Williams and the impact that each has. I had never really thought about...

What if that had been it? All we’ve got is every day. Let’s just take every day and realize how lucky we are.

They handled our press better. They rebounded better. … A lot of those rebounds that turned into ‘and-ones’ for them [Sunday] were our rebounds and we were going the other way [last time]. I think...

Last year was so bizarre. Now we’ve been through this before. Everybody’s comfortable with what we’re doing. I don’t think anyone’s in awe of what we’re doing.

You hate playing against them because they kill you. They beat you up.

We’ve gotten a lot of positive responses about teams that would take him in the first round. When a team says, ‘We’ll take you in the first round,’ that doesn’t mean they’re going to. That...

That’s a Big Five game, and as long as we play in the Big Five, I’m never going to have one of these games let me make decisions about my team. These games are crazy....

Is that with an asterisk? … It’s an honor because obviously the coaches have a high regard for our players. Now we have to go out and earn it.

He?s going to be a factor. He sits back there and protects the basket.

One of the areas the NBA has affected college basketball is the big guys. If they’re very skilled as young guys, they take them early. The guys who are able to benefit from maturing four...

He came in as a freshman and got better and better every year, and really by taking a team over and leading a team to a championship got him Player of the Year.

They are probably more skilled at every position than any Big East team that we play against because everybody can handle it, pass it, shoot it well. They remind me of Connecticut, but with their...

They’re playing like champions and we’re out here cruising. I thought we started the second half relaxed.

We knew he was going to have to make a decision at some point. Once he gets cleared, we’ve got to know. We’ve got to make a decision because it’s getting to be drama.

It has amazed me how confident he has become in his intellect. The first day on the basketball court here, he was not intimidated. But that summer going to class, he was. It was very...

He’s been as patient as any player I’ve ever had.

You have to be careful about that because you don’t want to give the guys too much information and lose our aggressiveness.

That was an unbelievable experience,

They had so many pros and we’ve got work to do.

I didn’t think someone would do it this year because of the depth of the conference, because of how much every game is going to take out of you. This is real impressive for both...

We’ve got very good shooters, and I don’t think it was a matter of them not being on their game. Texas just contested everything.

It’s amazing, I watch all the TV shows and I see them talk about all the great players in the country and they never mention him. He’s so smart in everything. All the little concepts...

I was really proud that we were able to complete 40 minutes. We struggled, but we finished it off and we just kept playing. That’s a sign of a really good team.

I find myself saying the same things about him. He is physically capable and mentally capable of doing anything to win a game for you.

It’s all great drama, it’s all great TV, but we’ve got to concentrate on (Saint Joseph’s). I recognize it all, but we’re not really concerned about any of that.

I always wanted to be here. My wife went to Villanova. This is a great area for college basketball.

We were very fortunate the last game. You don’t want to get down to them here.

I feel a little guilty. That was a real home court for us.

It’s going to be important for him to get back playing and just feel good. The only risk he has is the exact same thing happening, but that’s the same risk as if it never...

You don’t blame it on being tired… I’m sure they were tired, too.

When we did it in the NCAA Tournament, it was kind of dropped on us. We didn’t have a lot of time to prepare. I feel good that we have a little more time to...

We are smaller than them, but we are quicker and we have depth. When we speeded it up, I thought that was to our advantage.

I don’t think we understand how hard people are going to come at us. These guys have never gone through a season like this, ranked early, getting so much attention. Everyone else wants to make...

I give Seton Hall a lot of credit. They’re physical. They defend. The bottom line is they came out and came after us and we came out every lackadaisical.

We’re a small team, a gutsy team.
