They (UNC Asheville) played the 100 percent against the way we want to play
Jeremy made some shots I hadn't seem him make before
The thing that impressed me ... is there is no back-off to them at all. … They're not going to be scared of us by any stretch of the imagination.
I've been told the screams could be heard from very far away
When you have to play three games in three days, you learn about your team ... You can't get this experience at home. If you have a negative experience, you lose a game, you have a matter of hours to get ready for the next one.
To come in and do a triple-double, with all that pressure on him: Don't foul, take care of the ball, let's not turn it over. He is one tough kid. He is crafty. I thought he was just terrific
This is not our season ... This is a great step for us. It's letting people know we are Connecticut, we have been Connecticut for the last 20-something years, and we think we have a pretty good basketball team.
We were fortunate to win ... but we also work to win.
