This was as intense a game as we've had all season long. There is an intensity between these two teams as a result of the playoff series a few years ago.

Overrated. Teams that have it, brag about it. Teams that don't have it, don't.

This is going to be the toughest game of the season up to date. I think because of the magnitude of the game. I think because Saint Joseph's is 10-10, under .500 in the league. This is a big, big game for them. It's a big game for us. It's a nationally televised game. Plus it's a tight, tight building. They are right on top of us.

We played a very explosive ball game. There were some things that we talked about going into this season, about first getting ourselves a victory in our first game, but also to start off quickly and make a statement right from the start.

We're in a stage of our season, and we've had already two or three stages like this, when we have to persevere.

A lot of teams would've gone in the tank. We weren't going to let one bad game ruin our season.
