It all starts with defense. I wasn't going to allow us to play back on our heels.

We didn't even think about Pops. They have so many good players and they control the game with their defense. They played they way they play.

We finally get the chance to play in our gym a little bit. It's really different, really strange. I've never been through a schedule like that. That's what happens when we don't have the ability to play a lot of home games, like some other schools.

We just concentrated on getting him the ball. He was phenomenal.

I saw them beat Xavier on tape and that was just a tremendous win, and they come back and Saint Joseph's plays terrific and they don't shoot as well. That's what happens sometimes when you get a big win on the road, you come home and the kids relax a little bit and the other team kind of catches you off-guard.

He certainly kicked his butt.
