[Calhoun's] the most similar [to me], ... We both had to go through similar things and it's very apropos that we're going in together. One couldn't have gone in without the other. You wouldn't have been able to explain why one would without the other.

We missed Terrence. He's a big key for us on the boards.

We just really couldn't stop them defensively enough to get to where we wanted to go. They shot the ball well. They played well, ... We made some uncharacteristically bad turnovers in this game that really hurt us.

Roy was a great motivator, a guy with great energy, ... He was a very good practice coach. He had a way of keeping everybody enthusiastic and fired up every day, and that's important when you are dealing with a long season like you do in basketball.

I think John's place in Syracuse basketball history is underappreciated, ... We were facing some tough times and he easily could have turned his back on us and committed someplace else, but he stuck with us. During that 1996 tournament, he literally carried us on his shoulders to the title game.

If Gerry played at Notre Dame he'd probably average 25 a game for four years because that's what he gets when he comes here.

Those guys have to be ready to step up and play. This is the opportunity for them. We'll see how they handle that.
