I think the sky's the limit for this team. We have lots of talent. We're really deep. Dixon has done a really good coaching job. He's gotten us to work on our weaknesses. We're getting better and better, progressing each game.

We didn't get the win we were looking for on Monday to, hopefully, clinch that fourth seed and the bye. We've just got to take care of what we can control and hope for the best.

St. John's is a tough team, and they battled all game. They play aggressive defense. When they make the plays and make the shots, they are tough to beat. They're going to be a force in the Big East.

It's going to be a good challenge for us. We match up fairly well with them.

It's a little bit of bad timing, but for the city overall, it's great. People still recognize we're winning, so it's not a problem.

That's the thing about the Big East. We got a big win at Louisville. Initially, you think that Rutgers and St. John's would be easier, but really, the Big East is so tough. Rutgers took Villanova to overtime, and they have a really good chance of making it to the NCAA tournament.

We realized Seton Hall was playing for a tourney bid, and they had a lot to gain from tonight. They were working hard and we didn't match their intensity for 40 minutes.

We were kind of talking about it, joking around. It didn't seem like (the Big East tournament run) had much effect. It seemed like we could have lost in the first round and it wouldn't have changed much.

For the most part we played well defensively. We let up a little bit a couple times once we got the big lead and that's when they got back in it.

This was a good learning experience for us. We got away from our game plan, and it cost us. We have to stick to the things that have been working for us all year or we're going to keep losing.
