The two of us have always had a policy we’d never play. But the (HSBC) Arena got involved and wanted to see John’s team come in. We needed to play there next season (as a...

I didn’t think about it. It’s not like I was looking down there (at the West Virginia bench) every time. One time out of a timeout we ran a play and they ran the exact...

They have an outstanding shooter in Whittington.

It was from somebody totally different and off the wall. It wasn’t somebody who played here and graduated in the ’40s or ’50s who guys can’t relate to. It’s a guy they can relate to,...

It’s the salvation a tournament gives you that you’re looking to find. You have a chance for redemption. We have so many Catholic schools in the league, I guess we can say it’s absolution. We...

We can’t change what’s happened, but we can learn from it. All we can focus on now is the next three weeks and moving forward.

It was difficult but I told them I was down in that locker room after Richard Jones passed away [in 2004] and that was a tragedy. [Wednesday night] was not a tragedy. We are not...

Marist is playing for a championship right now. We’re playing for our lives to get as far away from the cellar as we can, so we know what we’re in for.

It’s a simple game. If you make shots, you do a lot better. We just didn’t make shots, and we had great looks. We played well enough defensively to win. . . . We have...

It’s a funny career the way it’s gone. There’s a classic example of turning a negative into a positive.

He was tremendous. We just haven’t done a good job on him in the two games. Not many people have.

Our guys can’t just play 12 minutes in the first half and 12 in the second half. Hopefully we can build on this and take it to the next game, but we have to be...

Canisius is a very special place . . . It’s a bottom line business unfortunately. If the only thing we can be accused of is not winning enough games, I leave here with my head...

When you’re talking and active defensively that can turn into easy offense. Defensively we were very active.

That’s what we have to do, especially on the road.

They made a couple more plays than we did. I thought we played with great intensity and energy all the way.
