I looked up and saw and elbow at the square (on the backboard). I knew it was Dante because he?s the only one on our team who can jump that high.

I knew it was going in. It didn't feel like it was going to rattle out, hit the backboard or anything.

One of the main things I remember about that game is that I got my shot blocked - twice. And how much it hurt.

He was like all freshmen: young, a little bit immature. We had to talk to him, stay on him and be sure he could follow the team rules.

This was one of our goals. This is what we wanted, to bring Villanova back (to national prominence). But it?s not like we?re going to say, ?Oh, we?re No. 1, and rest on that. You can?t take a night off in this league, especially now. Other teams are going to be gunning for us. It?s not like in the past. We?re the hunted now, not the hunter.

We just said to ourselves that we had to make a couple of stops, keep a great attitude and keep it together. No matter what happened, we had to stay together. That's what was going through our minds at that time.
