It’s all about composure, something we didn’t have at the beginning of the season.

Their guards are solid, they got out into transition and that’s what they do. They feed off transition and Downey was just hitting his shots.

Eventually, when it’s all said and done, people will eventually look at me as being one of the best defensive players. I don’t care about people recognizing what I do now because in the end...

I think it’s going to be an improvement for our team, putting me out there on the wing, getting more shots. That’s what I’ve been working on all summer, not just to take shots but...

We felt we were going to win the game. We took the lead and that gave us some emotion, but I don’t think we executed our sets well. That’s something we did earlier in the...

I know playing in the Big East, every night you’re going to have to come out and compete. There’s not one game that you can come out here and lollygag. You got to be on...

We gotta hit the glass, today we got out-rebounded by Pittsburgh and on the road you have to rebound and control the tempo. We got to go on the road and play tough and not...

In tournament play, anything is possible. Anybody can get upset at any time. That’s what we’re looking forward to doing.

I don’t think it’s a distraction. It’s something he addressed, but we have to continue to keep focused throughout these last four games. It’s very important to put this behind us and take care of...

I was really focused. I shot the ball real well. I became really confident. Everyone had a hand in this victory.

It definitely motivates us more because we want both of our programs to be successful. They come out here and work hard every day, and we’re just trying to implement the same thing that they’re...

Today, we didn’t execute in the last minutes of the game. I don’t think it’s the arena or what Seton Hall did, it’s what we didn’t do on the offensive end.

We’re coming out and working well together. Everyday we’re trying to get better and we’re understanding how to win games now.

They definitely feel they can beat us, especially at home. Their record says they haven’t won a game in the Big East, but they’ve been close with everybody so you know they’re not going to...

(Assistant) coach (Chip) Wilde does a good job preparing the scouting report by giving all the players DVDs to watch of an opposing team. I’ll take it home and watch it for about a half-hour...

(Waters) told me he was going to move me to the wing because we needed more points on the board. Quincy can’t score all the points by himself.

It’s definitely a step backwards because we didn’t take care of home-court advantage. St. John’s came in here and stole one from us.

I definitely saw two guys running at Quincy. He’s the type of guy that can get the ball to me and get that kind of shot.

It’s unfortunate we didn’t have any timeouts. We used all our timeouts in key situations, but it (another timeout) probably could’ve helped us in the end.

When you come home you have to take care of business. You can’t just continue to let teams come in and steal games from you.

Coach (Waters) was himself. He came in here and said, ‘Guys, you did it.’ That was one of our goals in the beginning of the season, to make it to the Big East tournament, and...

We didn’t get stops on defense. That’s what it boils down to. The big man (Hibbert) scored at will down there.

I tried to make it difficult for him to post up.
