Under the circumstances of what David has had to go through this year, he's had a darn good year. And he's done it under the most trying circumstances you can imagine. His threshold for pain is kind of incredible. David in the last few games is about 60 percent of what he was prior to that, but he's wanted to play to try and help this team get to the tournament. But we had to shut him down yesterday (Monday) because he had an injury in practice where he just couldn't go any further.
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
He always finds a way to help his team win. At 6-10, its' very difficult even though you may be on him, he makes contested shots. He has unbelievable range and he does it to everybody he did it to us here at Freedom Hall two years ago and beat us single-handedly.Rick Pitino

I agree with his decision. It's in his best interests for his basketball future. We wish him well with his future plans.

The whole NIT we're playing great defense, that's what we're trying to stress. We talked about, we can't hang our heads because we had injuries, we can't hang our heads because we're young. If you can head to the NIT Final Four, it means you're playing good basketball.
