Mike Gansey Win Quotations

Last year when we were struggling in the Big East, it was because we didn't know how to win if our shots weren't falling. But we're not going to shoot 60 percent or some ridiculous number from 3-point range every night, so we needed to find other ways to win. Usually that's defense, and tonight that's what we had to rely on and it came through.

He's got to do what he's got to do. Obviously, if I was in the same situation, I'd do the same thing. He's having his first child, and that's what any other person would do. We're going to deal with it and try to win the game for him if that happens.

Yeah, it was nice to get out there and get a win against those guys. It seemed like every time we played them, they just had our number.

We've got to bounce back and win a game at Syracuse. We knew a couple weeks ago we weren't going to be undefeated.

We didn't expect to win by 20 and obviously we struggled down the stretch. St. John's is a tough team and we knew they would make a run.

St. John's is the sleeper team in the Big East. We knew we weren't going to come in here and win by 20. We saw what they did to Louisville and Pitt. They have three quick guards who made it difficult for us to get the ball inbounds at the end.

I hit a couple in a row and I felt really good, once you hit a couple of shots everything else in your game feels better, ... As long as we play as hard as we can and as a team, we should win some games.

It was strange out there knowing it's your last time, but what better way to go out than with a win like this.
