We played a great basketball game in all phases. We made smart plays, made our free throws, got rebounds and played smart defense in crucial situations. I'm very happy for our guys because they got some rewards for working hard, very hard. You can see by the way we're playing, we're not looking forward to next year. Our time is now, and we're going to keep playing that way.

He's got to work on his body, to get stronger for the next level, but he's terrific. He doesn't get rattled he's seen probably every defense.Rick Pitino
You certainly don't want to do what we did at Kentucky. I remember calling the third timeout and asking my players, 'When will it dawn on you guys that you can't take it to him, you have to pass it early or pull up How many blocked shots will it take for you guys to realize he's a good shot blocker' In this game, it's the same way. You've got to understand when you can take it in there and when you can't and you've got to obviously pick your spots.

I just love the whole atmosphere, ... To see East Tennessee State almost beat Wake Forest, the St. Joes game was great. Its just so much fun to watch all of it.

Marquette ran their offense, did some good things. But it takes great execution and a big night from someone to make that happen. You never know what's going to happen. You can't give up, you've got to stay in there and fight. You never know, Saturday could be the upset that turns this around.

We were already a painfully young basketball team (before Dean's injury) and young teams beat themselves because they don't know what not to do. Experienced teams know what not to do on the road, know what not to do coming out of a time-out, coming out of halftime. Young teams don't know that.

We've accomplished what we've wanted to accomplish, record-wise. But we're nowhere near where we should be or where we ought to be.
