It's going to be brutal. You've really got to be on your game every night out. There are going to be some good teams at home come March when they might otherwise be in the (NCAA) tournament. The league is that good.
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
We've been playing good defense in the first half, but we can't sustain it because we're getting taken to the woodshed on the glass. But that's a credit to St. John's. They played very, very well.Rick Pitino
They're very difficult to play against because they space the floor with five guys on the perimeter. And although they shoot and pass great and have a terrific system, what makes them so difficult is containing the basketball, because you can't be in total ball-you-man help position because of what they do offensively.

I was hoping they would have that type of game. I was hoping they'd save that for us. So we're probably going to see a different Syracuse team because they do have great pride in their ability. They need the game and we need the game, so it should be a heck of a ballgame.
