All those offensive rebounds are nice, but they don't mean much if you can't convert them into points.

These are my leaders right here. And I wouldn't trade them, they're wonderful. But, at the same time, you have to be able to be in a situation, and then you have to learn.

If you look at the shooting, the fact that we got 70 shots was amazing. I think that's a sign that they believed they could make the shot and a good majority of them went in and out.

I'm a big believer that you reap what you sow. I tell the team that all the time. I don't think luck just happens. I think people create their own good fortune.

The fact we are happy to be here is an understatement. We are not just happy to be here. We came to win.

They made a commitment to the university to change the program. To really be difference-makers ... I think what it says is, if you do things the right way, you reap what you sow.

I want the University of Pittsburgh to experience those things that Connecticut has experienced with conference championships and NCAA titles. We will be a winning program.

It's either my way or the highway. If you don't agree, one of us will have to leave, and I'll tell you what, it isn't going to be me.

This is the second-best defensive team in the nation. You can't prepare for that. We can't practice that kind of heat.
