We just wanted to come out tonight and start it up. They were feeding us the ball from the perimeter, they’re always confident in us, but they’re even more confident when we’re producing.

In the Big East they like to collapse. It’s more physical in the Big East, much more physical. But if I’m getting guarded one-on-one, I’m going to go with it every time.

With the amount of production the frontcourt has had the last few games, we really needed to step it up. This shows, when the perimeter’s clicking and the frontcourt is clicking how we can play.

It’s all mental than anything. We all just have to mentally want to win.

These two teams we play, all of us are battling for a spot in the tournament. We have to want it more than them.

Not really. (The guards) were hot at the end of the game, so they kept the ball in their hands.

Definitely frustrating. We weren’t as aggressive defensively as we started the half out.

We just kept our composure. It was a sense of urgency.

Right about now, it’s all or nothing. We know we had to get two starting tonight.

It is a sense of urgency. We really needed to step it up.

I didn’t think so and I’m sure none of my teammates or coaches thought we would be in this position, actually fighting to get one of the final spots in it. But that’s what we...

It’s up to us whether we want to rotate to stop the ball or try to get that rebound. That’s within ourselves. We played with that sense of urgency. Not saying that we didn’t have...

He just has a good, sensitive game. And I think with time he’s going to keep getting better and better.

This was a good test for us. We have to go into every game as being a battle.

I think we had an advantage down low and my teammates were giving it to me.

I’m just cool. I knew I could hit them.

We didn’t panic at all. Hard work, you can’t really work on that. It’s just something we have to do.

I mean, we just have to…I don’t know. We just have to be strong in there.
