We've been playing good defense in the first half, but we can't sustain it because we're getting taken to the woodshed on the glass. But that's a credit to St. John's. They played very, very well.
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
You certainly don't want to do what we did at Kentucky. I remember calling the third timeout and asking my players, 'When will it dawn on you guys that you can't take it to him, you have to pass it early or pull up How many blocked shots will it take for you guys to realize he's a good shot blocker' In this game, it's the same way. You've got to understand when you can take it in there and when you can't and you've got to obviously pick your spots.Rick Pitino
What happened was a mistake, and he owned up to it. And for this to be pulled from him is very disappointing.

It's not for entertainment. It's going to be a very intense practice. We're not going to hold back because you are there. We're not going to watch our language, so if that bothers you, don't come.

You work so hard to get the program to be a Final Four caliber program and then not to make your conference tournament is really slipping. Regardless of how close we've played teams, that wins you no medals.

We're like a baseball team that can't hit. The pitcher has to throw a four- or five-hitter every time out.

Louisville, another popular office-pool pick, led by a measly point, 33-32, at the half. The Cardinals did win, 68-62, but not before trailing by a point in the final minutes. One might think there's a big difference between Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisville, basketball royalty the last 25 years. But there's not much of one. I told them during halftime, ... that if they think they're going to pull away from Lafayette they're mistaken. I told them it was going to come down to the final two minutes.

There is only one thing keeping us from having heaven on earth: we can't believe it! Why? Because we don't want to be wrong - so we'll be right and make it hell!

I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I've just got to believe that we're going to be all right. I've got to just play basketball.
