This is a wonderful opportunity and now it's up to me to seize it and surround myself with some pretty good guys.

It's a great opportunity to come to Hawaii and not only enjoy the history and tradition of the place, but also to play college basketball. So we feel pretty fortunate to do both.

We have obviously some very bright kids who can do some high-level academic work. But when it comes to playing basketball, nobody cares. Unless we do a good job, nobody's going to appreciate the kind of people that we are or the kind of students that we are.

I think you might want to give Villanova credit for that, but we also had some pretty good looks, the ball just didn't go.

I think we were timely in our shots dropping tonight, and that's what you gotta do if you're going to win a game like this on the road. It's a terrific win for us, no doubt about it.

I don't know but I'd sure like to pay to see that game.

We have a situation where we try to look at practice times that might fit for guys, who might have an hour on Tuesday or an hour on Wednesday. In that hour we may only get six or seven or eight guys.

Sometimes, what appears to the naked eye as a wide open jump shot is rushed, it's got a hand in your face a little bit more than normal.

We would have liked to have won more, but I thought we had great opportunities during those years.
