With seven new players, we're never going to have an experienced lineup. This is who we are. We're a very young and inexperienced basketball team. But they're willing to play hard.
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
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.Rick Pitino
Cincinnati is going to be great, because they have four seniors. I think people are maybe underrating Cincinnati because they lost a legendary coach. But Andy Kennedy is a terrific coach and they have four seniors and it would not surprise me to see them win this conference.

Don't let that humility and quiet nature fool you, though. It can be there to fool you. Deep down there's that fire that competed on the court. It's in the coaches' box, too. Some of the best coaches of our time, Dean Smith and John Wooden, had that demeanor.

We'll attempt to out-think one another, but once the game is over, we'll go back to being good friends. When he comes to Louisville, I'll have him over for dinner, and when we come to Syracuse, I'm sure he'll have me over to his house.
