Man-to-man gave us a lot of energy, it made us play harder. When we start doing that, good things usually happen.

It made us play harder.

We've shown glimpses of really good play, 30 to 35 minutes. Now we have to concentrate on playing 40 minutes. If we do that, I think we can beat anybody.

We can't use it as an excuse. I think if we can go to Villanova and Pitt and play well and win, we'll have a much better picture of who we are.

If they play me that hard, I have to make plays for other people. I didn't do that.

This was really something special for me – getting the opportunity to come back and play before the local fans. Coming home is something most players dream about, but rarely get to experience.
