Mike Brey Team Quotations

I don't know if anybody's shocked. We felt they were going to be a pretty good basketball team and maybe were being undersold a little bit in the preseason.

It's very intense. No. 1, you have your current team on campus and in school, so you feel torn a little bit. You're very responsible for those young men who have already signed with you and are on your watch, academically and athletically. But you need to be out a couple days a week evaluating.

They're a heck of a team. They're really good, but we knew the field was going tough. Like I told our guys, they're a Big East team and we're honored to be in it.
