I thought Marcus did a terrific job.
More Quotes from Jim Calhoun:
Craig is a very confident kid, without being arrogant. I thought he really looked like a point guard tonight, with a great deal of composure.Jim Calhoun
Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots.

As we start our season this year, ... there is no better basketball league in the country, top to bottom. I can make that statement pretty definitively, and the fact that we have a couple of Hall of Fame coaches, and I don't think anyone's going to argue that Rick's going in, and at Marquette, Tom Crean's a terrific young coach, and you go right through the league, Jay Wright's got it going at Villanova now, John Thompson III is very good. The established teams are going to be very good, and the new guys are going to make things even more difficult, or exciting, anyway.

I can't remember the last time we were up three with 11 seconds to go and lost. We got beat by that shot by Gerry. Anything can happen in overtime. We made the decision of who would have the assignment. Gerry made a better play and hit a great 3.

I've said all along that Marcus is the best passer I've ever coached. I think he took affront to that, because he had back-to-back 20-point games (in the tournament). There aren't many better point guards in the country.

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.
