Josh Boone Last Quotations

Things just haven't been going my way the last couple of games, but, you know, as long as the team keeps winning that's all that really matters. We're doing well. We're 14-1 so I can't really worry about myself too much.

It's great to see him playing well and great to see him playing defense, doing all the things he's been doing for the last four years.

I don?t think there?s anything that you can really build on. It?s just the knowledge that you need to approach every game like it?s the last game you?re going to play.

We have to think about how we played the last 10 minutes. We?re not ready to go home yet.

It was just a matter of being ready to play. It's a matter of being ready as soon as they throw the ball up, not waiting 10 minutes. ... I hope we look at this and realize we can't ever do this again. Because if so, that's going to be the last game for a bunch of us. This is that final wake-up call.

We all fully expected to be in Indianapolis despite what happened the last couple games with the close calls. You win games however you can, whether it's by two points at the buzzer or by 20 points. The bottom line is we were winning games up until (Sunday). We came up one game short.

It helps a lot but it's not just experience. It has a lot to do with conditioning and the depth of our team. The last couple of games we've really been able to just wear other teams down toward the end of the game and really start to pull away.

Over the last three years at Connecticut, I have played with, and against, the highest level of competition in college basketball. I feel now is the time for me to explore the option of testing my basketball skills against the best players in the world.

There's really no excuse for it. But also I think we showed a lot of heart in the last few minutes and put the foot back on the pedal.

Just really being stronger was important for us, and being tough on the inside. A lot of times we were able to get the ball inside in the last game but they would come in, and you've got guys slapping at the ball and everything and we were getting it taken from us. This game, we made sure as soon as we caught it we were ball-tough and that nobody could take the ball from us.
