From top to bottom, this league is terrific - Notre Dame, is a fantastic team, they sit at 1-5, but they're not a 1-5 basketball team. That's the unfortunate thing about the league. You can't have an off day, or an off couple of minutes, or you'll lose.
More Quotes from Jim Calhoun:
The thing that scares me always the most and the thing I caution our players on is that next week, you go home. You go home for the Big East tournament. And then next time you go home, we pack up the uniforms. And this team is good enough to get to Indianapolis. Will it get to Indianapolis I have no idea. ... Maybe the first round of the tournament some team gets up, plays us tough and we don't execute.Jim Calhoun
I told him I had him for a triple-double 11, 11 and 11. The statistician, when you throw that bad pass to the guy who's surrounded by three people, gives it (turnover) to the guy who drops it. I don't.

The Big East championship means a lot to us. If you can go through 16 games in this league and have to go to the places you do and beat the teams you have to beat, it's really tough. This is a terrific league and to come through it 14-2, I couldn't be prouder of our kids.

It's an important time because no one wants anyone else to get off to a 7-0 start. The league is off to a good start.

I think we had three top-10 teams and five teams in the top 20 that year ... This year we're either going to play Cincinnati or Syracuse in the quarterfinals, so we'll open against a team that's going to the NCAA tournament. It was almost impossible to imagine this scenario a few years ago. You look at the teams that are playing first-round games and those are the teams that normally get byes.
