Q: What did you guys talk about among yourselves after the loss in the Big East tournament to Louisville?
A: "When you're at this level and you're an athlete, you have to have a short memory. You can't dwell on a lot of things. You have to put things behind you and move forward, just like after any other loss or bad game."
Q: How do you feel about being placed in the West region and playing this week in Louisville?
A: "The location? Out West? I don't think we know too many people out West. But it's fine. Lousville is not that far away. Hopefully some people from Louisville will support us... a Big East thing."
Q: What has the team been concentrating on basketball-wise?
A: "We're just trying to focus on doing the little things. It's always the little things in life that get you by, and when it comes to basketball, it's the little things. The fundamentals. Taking care of the ball. Boxing out. Things like that. So I think we're trying to get back really focusing on the fundamentals because that's what got us here in the first place."
Q: What's the mindset of the team going into the NCAA tournament after a disappointing showing in the Big East tournament?
A: "Obviously things didn't work out for us in the Big East tournament but here we are with another chance to prove ourselves...again."
