The mental mindset is great because of our strong performance in the Big East tournament. A lot of positive things came out of it.

All the great people learn from the people before them. Chris took one approach and did things the way he wanted to do it. Carl took a completely different approach and did the things the way he wanted to do it. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, just a different approach.

All of the guys made sure to get us big guys involved in the second half and we were able to get a tough win on the road.

The coaches just told me to be patient. I get real anxious when I see teams are playing me man-to-man. Early on, I had a lot of bad turnovers. I think that goes to the fact that we hadn't played in eight days.

The draft process will provide me a great learning experience and will help me become a better player. Academically, I am well on my way to graduating and earning a degree and that is a priority for me.

A lot of times my offense is so bad, I'm just glad even with my offensive struggles that I've been able to get offensive rebounds.

The guys did a great job of getting me the ball. The guards were doing a great job of hitting shots, and they couldn't double down. We knew with Padgett out we could utilize our post game. We did that. We got out to a big lead because of it.

He played with a chip on his shoulder. He was more physical. It was his Senior Day. He was on tonight.

I couldn't believe when he hit that last 3-pointer from about 15 feet beyond the line, but what can you do? He was unbelievable.

I don't think we did anything different in the way we went about our business of preparing for a game. We put in the hard work that's needed. We expected to make those shots.
