We're so anxious for the game to get here.

Maybe people thought of us as a running team. Or a three-point shooting team. A no-contact team. We've changed that image.

Maybe we don't look like we're tough guys, but the bottom line is we get the job done. I know, Villanova was tough. They were city kids. But we're going to play our game no matter who the other team has.

It's great to see your son doing his job on the court. But it was no surprise.

There was not much we could do (last season) because it wasn't our team. It was frustrating at times because we wanted to push the ball. (Anthony) Roberson and Matt Walsh just wanted to walk ... it ... up. I loved playing with those guys but it was frustrating at times.

We lost most of our scoring (from a year ago). But we knew we were going to come out here and make this run.
