We are just a painfully young basketball team. It's excruciating at times with six freshmen and three sophomores, but they play hard, and I'd rather have that and have them mature and gain from it.
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
Notre Dame should really have only one loss in the conference. What has happened to them is scary. We've both been very unlucky. They've been unlucky with last-second situations and we've been unlucky with injuries. So it's two teams that have not had a great deal of luck and good fortune go their way.Rick Pitino
Andre really has improved. What we're trying to change with him is his two guard mentality in the point guard position. When he penetrates, it's to score, and that's what he had to do in high school. He has point guard skills, but not a point guard mentality. So we've got to develop that and it's going to take some time. It's tough to learn.

It's nice that people rate us so high, but I've said from Day 1 to our media that we aren't a top-20 team. I don't understand it. We lost to Pitt at home.

I am impressed with them. They have the toughness to compete in the Big East. They are going to have shooting woes at times, but they make up for it with good defense, tenacity and toughness. They are going to be a tough basketball team.

We had a single find of BSE in this country. And we believe that what we're doing is appropriate action taken in an abundance of caution under the circumstances. And I believe it's the right thing to do.
