He?s good, but we knew that already because we recruited him. He?s a four or five for a Connecticut team, so he?s going to be a guy who pounds you, who?s very physical. He?s not a surprise to us.
I wish I could tell you I knew this was going to happen, but I just think we're always going to win. I'm more shocked when we lose.
I thought West Virginia was just great. It's the Big East. You knew it was going to come some time where someone was going to play a better game. We've just got to make sure it doesn't happen again.
That was a lot of heart. He said he felt good, but I knew he'd tell me that.
We knew there were going to be times that we're going to play bigger, even three forwards depending on teams we play. It's not real complicated. We can put people in different spots.
I didn't think someone would do it this year because of the depth of the conference, because of how much every game is going to take out of you. This is real impressive for both teams. It doesn't surprise me, any of the upsets, because we knew we could get beat any night.
I never thought we could get a player from a nationally renowned program. I knew there was a strong spiritual aspect to him and great intelligence.
We knew he was going to have to make a decision at some point. Once he gets cleared, we've got to know. We've got to make a decision because it's getting to be drama.
We knew it was coming. I love him. I told him after the game, he was great. He was a beast.
