Jim Calhoun Rank Quotations

Rankings and polls and seeds and all that stuff, in the midst of a game, they don't count. You have to make shots, you have to get rebounds, you have to play defense.

On paper, we seem to be a deep, big and experienced basketball team that should be ranked in the top 10 teams in America.

It's both being fortunate and having the basketball gods smiling on you a little bit because quite frankly they had every right to win that game as much as we did. We took our foot off the pedal and we can't do that.

Pittsburgh has turned into a rivalry game for us. They certainly have become a formidable opponent, an obstacle for us to get to a championship, or for seeding, or quite frankly just to get wins.
