Bad Quotes
Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.

Basketball Quotes
I was so impressed with St. Bonaventure tonight. It's kind of unfortunate they're playing their best basketball now. I truly believe they got a couple wins left in them. Unfortunately, the season has kind of caught up to them a little bit. We were pretty nervous. Thank God for our experience. That was the only difference.

Anybody Quotes
Our program is based on developing players. Our players have improved physically and in every area of the game since they've been here. We don't get the kind of players I could recruit at Connecticut, so we have to rely on developing them. We do as good a job as anybody in the country at developing players.

Answer Quotes
It doesn't make any difference. We're going to have to play a good team, and that's what it is. Last year, we won our league, and we were a 12th seed. We'll probably get another 12th seed. I'm just telling you. You're asking me a question that I don't have an answer for, so all I can do is guess.

Attention Quotes
We're not paying attention to any of that foolishness. What we're paying attention to is that we want Pops to get double-digit rebounds. I want J.R. to take better shots. I want (senior forward) Mike Hall to take control of this team defensively. I want (senior forward) Omar (Williams) to step it up and be more aggressive. We're not caring about being in the top 20. I want to make that clear.

Advantage Quotes
That's what I was wondering. I told coach (Darrell) Brooks, 'Who scheduled this game?' Games are very tough for us to get. We want to try to get as many homes games as possible. This is a situation where we had an opportunity to play a game on TV. We wanted to take advantage of that opportunity.

Game Quotes
This is going to be the toughest game of the season up to date. I think because of the magnitude of the game. I think because Saint Joseph's is 10-10, under .500 in the league. This is a big, big game for them. It's a big game for us. It's a nationally televised game. Plus it's a tight, tight building. They are right on top of us.

Basketball Quotes
The young guy is just stepping up. Whenever we need a big play or big score, he stepped up and made the play. But more importantly, he made great decisions with the basketball and I thought that was the difference. We kind of expect him to score. That's kind of what his trick is, and I thought he made great decisions with the ball.

Basketball Quotes
They're an improved basketball team. They're really playing within themselves. I think Coach (John Giannini) has done a great job of not letting opponents get comfortable. They do different things depending on who they play. We're going to have to execute well and have to be able to think on our feet.

Experience Quotes
It was disheartening to play well enough to put us in the position to win, but we just couldn't make the free throws. I don't know if it was the fact that it was the NCAA tournament and we weren't used to the atmosphere, but I'm hoping that's where our experience will pay off if we're in that situation this year.
