 +"I never let the kids know it, but it's the reason why I hid in my room all day today," Crean said after his Golden Eagles trounced the Pirates 89-64. "This was huge. My stomach said that all day long. But the kids were always upbeat and positive."

 +Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez, who didn't address the media until nearly an hour after the game, had little to say about the loss.

 +"We got beat by a better team," he said. "Marquette's really good and I knew they would come in a little desperate. We got outclassed tonight."

 +The game was in sharp contrast to the teams' previous meeting this season, when Marquette held on for a 61-56 win last month.

 +"We didn't play with great spirit that night, but they did," Crean said. "We knew that we could play a lot better than the first time. We worked extremely hard this time. They took it to us a little the first time, but we played confident today."
