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.

It’s unbelievable. If you look at him, he doesn’t even have a black eye. He just looks like someone who got poked in the eye. It’s a little watery, but it’s not even swollen.

You have to be prepared to have an off-shooting night and still win. We could have hit two or three more threes and everyone would have said we blew them out.

We need to get our forwards involved. We’ve been working on it. Will has been defending, making plays, but not scoring as much. Tonight he took it to another level in a big game against...

In the first half, that kept us in it, because we weren’t shooting the ball very well.

Offensively, in the first half, I thought we played all right. Also, we just couldn’t control Quincy. Second half, I thought we spread the ball out pretty well.

He’s always doing the dirty work. He keeps battling and battling. Will Sheridan is everything that Villanova basketball is about.

We try to play our four guards, but sometimes we have games where we get off to a good start, and we can speed people up and stay with it. We were having a rough...

It?s a chance. He understands that. When we recruited him, he never said that he wanted to leave early. I think he?s as surprised that he?s in this position and had to make a decision...

I never thought we could get a player from a nationally renowned program. I knew there was a strong spiritual aspect to him and great intelligence.

I don’t think (the selection committee) looked at this season as a shock. I think they looked at from the standpoint that Villanova has done this before. They had a great year. They’ve had success...

I wish I could tell you I knew this was going to happen, but I just think we’re always going to win. I’m more shocked when we lose.

I really feel so good about this season. It’s not even not going to the Final Four, we just wanted to keep advancing, keep being together, keep playing together.

I just wanted our guys to settle down. We have experienced guys; they know how to handle it.

That is definitely the perception.

I think in the back of our guys’ minds, they always believe that can happen at any time and they have that great confidence. It’s exciting as hell because in two possessions, you’re making up...

I’m at Villanova for life now. I’m happy as hell.

Allan looked great. He was right back at it and didn’t show any signs of tentativeness at all. He was right back at it.

We’re going to do it nicely, so he’ll do it with me and he’ll be in the pictures with his classmates.

It looked ridiculous. Honestly, I am sitting on the sideline saying, ‘We look like idiots.’ Especially when they would go up and get an offensive rebound.

And then to see Randy carry the flag into that stadium with 80,000 people. I could see how much confidence he had. He was growing up right in front of my eyes and was ready...

I’ve got to give Texas credit. The last three games have been against good teams in tough environments. I’m very pleased with our team, we just didn’t execute.

He’s our best free-throw shooter. I’m glad he got on the line and buried them.

It’s good to get them the minutes. It’s encouraging to me. I can sleep at night [thinking about] the future.

Allan has a serious injury and he’s doing OK . . . That’s all we can say at this point.

Obviously this was an incredible Big East battle. We just said to ourselves, this is BIG EAST game No. 1 – it tells you what this league will be like…Timely shots by Allan Ray, Jason...

We’re a defensive team. We take pride in that. And we just couldn’t stop them. …I’ve never had that feeling, where you just couldn’t stop somebody.
