More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
I thought Terrence Williams tonight was excellent. He played very smart and made some smart decisions.Rick Pitino
I think David is a true student of the game. I told him (before Connecticut), 'David, if you keep just going to the jump hook and not going up and under and not making head fakes and going the other way, they're going to play that.' So right away he alters that and goes to different things. He's very mature, David, on a very immature team.

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.

Our guys responded like there was a lot at stake, which there is. I'm really excited about the way we played basketball tonight. We did a lot of good things.

We just made mental mistakes. It wasn't the physical part that hurt us. We're disappointed we're losing, but these players are doing their job. They're working hard.

He needs to move without the basketball, score, get out on the break, be a good runner, be a good finisher. Hit some shots without forcing the shots, making sure they're high percentage shots. Defensively, he can do some things offensively, he's very limited.

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.
