Beating Quotes
If we play with the type of tempo that we did in the first half, then we're going to be tough to beat. We were really hustling and beating them to the ball. In the second half they really upped the pressure on us and we had to adjust. But this win is great for our kids. They have been so consistent all season and have really worked hard.

Ball Quotes
I feel like we're starting to get some breaks, ... Sometimes the ball bounces a certain way, but we need to create our own breaks, and Doc is great example of that. He was hustling downfield. Had he not been, that would have been Philly's ball and it would have been a whole different game.

Aggressive Quotes
Our guys started playing hard and that was the big difference. We came out aggressive, then missed a few shots and got passive; and they got aggressive and got the lead on us. We fought our way back into it by hustling and getting on the floor. The key to it was our defense. We got some key stops and when we did that, it allowed us to score some easy buckets in the post.

Amongst Quotes
A lot of times games are built up and they don't fulfill their promise. This game more than fulfilled its promise. Villanova may be, pound-for-pound, the toughest team that we've played anywhere, any time. Early in the game, we had to match their toughness. They were getting every offensive rebound. They were hustling like crazy. Unless you have a tough team, you cannot win this conference. It was like an old Big East backyard ball amongst two really good teams.

Against Quotes
It's hurtful. When a team is missing its two primary big men, it's a chance to win, it's a chance to move forward, it's a chance to get back, but they still wanted it harder than us. We let that defense get to us. Not in the first half. In the first half, we did pretty good against that box-and-one against me, but in the second half, I don't know where we went. It's all about heart. It's all about hustling 90 feet. We didn't hustle.
