They've been a top-10 team for most of the season, and they've been very deserving of that ranking. They've been very consistent, have great experience and have one of the premier big men in the country (Gray).
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
That was an extremely disappointing loss for us, about as disappointing as we've had. To play such good basketball and come away empty-handed is an empty feeling to say the least. We played well enough to get a 'W' and we didn't.Rick Pitino
We're not giving up on this year. We still think we can get to the tournament, win four games at Madison Square Garden. But the schedule is against us right now.
Rick Pitino
We're gong to stay very positive. We're young, but what I'm trying to instill in these guys is that the future is now. We can make it happen now. If we reach our goal and get six more wins, that would put us at 20-9 and .500 in the league (8-8). Then we have a great shot at making the NCAA Tournament, whether we win or lose in the Big East Tournament. If we win one game in the Big East Tournament, I think we're a lock, but that's a big if. But if we can play like we did against Villanova, it's certainly possible.
Rick Pitino
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.

We played probably one of our best games against Villanova, Cincinnati and now, and we're life and death to win at home with a loss on the road. That just tells you how tough it is. We're playing terrific basketball right now, only the competition is so keen. It's unbelievable. I've never seen the Big East like this. It's always been great, but it's never been like this. It's truly unbelievable.
Rick Pitino
It's going to be a very tough game. They're a very good basketball team. Every team we're going to face in this tournament is tough in terms of talent (but) we'll be ready for it.
