It's safe to say this was one of our better games all year. I've felt all along, all year long, that zones give us the opportunity to get open looks. And when teams get up after us man-to-man and pressure us on the half-court and full-court, it causes problems for us.
More Quotes from Trent Johnson:
I thought we played well offensively and defensively, and we shared the ball better than we have all season. Virginia, finding out they had to come cross country it looked like they had a bit of fatigue.Trent Johnson
You have to look at why those turnovers happened, and I choose to give credit to our opponent, as opposed to some of our deficiencies in terms of taking care of the ball. For us to have 23 turnovers and 13 assists, and still be in a situation where we can win that game, we were doing something good in other facets.

We don't make that decision. The NIT is money generated and if the NIT powers say we want you to play at home, we will. ... But if it was my decision, I would like to take this basketball team on the road. Because we compete well at home, but for the guys that are returning next year we've got to fight through on the road.

The last time we played at home we got beat by a really good team. I thought tonight our guys were really looking forward to the challenge and knew we had an opportunity to be successful.

Chris, Matt, Danny - these guys have been through some wars. All we ever talked about was the next game and the next practice. This is a very bright, articulate group. There was never any sense of panic.

They're a good basketball team. They have a very hostile home environment. They are very balanced. They have seven or eight guys who can score for them. They are probably a little bitter since they didn't get an at-large bid to the Tournament.
