It won't surprise me to see someone playing their fourth game in four days on Saturday. I just think the league has been like that.

The four teams that got byes in a 16-team league got penalized. You're not playing 16, 15, 14, and 13 anymore to get warmed up and get used to tournament play in Madison Square Garden. You're playing what turns out to be a five seed in the NCAA Tournament. And they've got a game under their belt in Madison Square Garden. Fatigue is of no issue. ... I don't care if you have to do it Tuesday night. Do 1-16, 8-9. I [feel] strongly about that.

Donyell Marshall was here tonight and he left with four minutes to go. That should never happen in a Connecticut game.

The game has taken me back to Springfield and I am so deeply honored and humbled to be in such a sacred place.

Now the game has taken me back to Springfield and I am so deeply honored and humbled to be in such a sacred place.

The game became much more physical than I would like to have seen. It reminded me of a Big East game probably back in the early '90s.
