We realized it as soon as the game was over. We ran into the locker room yelling, 'Big East champs!' That was such a good feeling.

Al McGuire's locker room was next to ours. Ray would be yelling, he'd pause for a second and then you'd hear Al yelling. Al would pause for a second, and you'd hear Ray yelling. It was great.

It started in the locker room. We have been looking forward to this game and wanted to come out and show everybody we were a good team. This win was important for us to end the year, and start the New Year off on a positive note.

We started on that in the (post-game) Auburn locker room.
