That was a good change for once. Playing in the Big East everybody was bigger than us, in mass and in height, so this was pretty different and we took advantage of the opportunity.

We thought they were going to try and push us around a little bit. But we know we can't back down.

Just like Coach has been telling us, you can't back down. Just because they have a lot of height, I mean we've got a lot of heart. We can't just back down now.

When we came into this we were going at it full-bore. We weren't going into it half-hearted. We were intent on at least getting to New York, and from there you can't tell what's going to happen. We need to leave the Garden on a good note this time.

It's like a street game in there. You've got to go in with elbows and pushing if you have to. ... We all have to adjust.
