He's real big and aggressive. It's going to be a nice challenge. He has real good hands, gets a lot of offensive rebounds. I'm going to have to do my part to keep him off the boards.

We're not satisfied at all. We came here to win. We're not just satisfied at getting to the Sweet 16 or being in the tournament. We're here to win.

I have to be aggressive all the time, but I've got to make sure I make smart plays. People double- and triple-team me, and I need to look for the open shooter.

That's what's great about our offense. When our guards start hitting shots, that really opens up the middle for me. ... And when I got it down there tonight, I finished it.

In the Big East, every team comes at me. We'll keep doing what we do and just run the offense and things will come. If they want to stop me from getting the ball, we have great shooters and guys who can get stuff going. The ball doesn't always have to go through my hands.

I feel like every day I have a size mismatch. I try to exploit that mismatch.

It's tick, tick, tick, when we got everything going right. You saw it tonight.

I have to be aggressive all the time, but I have to make sure I'm a smart player. I have to make sure I can kick it out to my shooters.

We came in here knowing this was almost a home game for them. We've played in atmospheres where the whole crowd's against us. The seniors led us and we followed right behind them.
