Marcus Williams East Quotations

It's a game we need to win. We're not focusing on winning the Big East, the Big East standings, the NCAA standings, whatever. They beat us the first time, so we have to get this win.

It's going to be a grind-out game. It's going to be a Big East game. It's not going to be a walk in the park. With No. 1 on our chests, a lot of teams are coming for us, especially Pitt. With their gritty attitude, it's going to be an intense game...This is like a fight. It's more like 1-on-1-on-1-on-1-on-1.

They've had some tough losses. Either they're going to tank it, or they'll come out in the Big East and turn it up a notch.

It's real big for someone like me. I write it down every day. Everything that he writes down, I write down every day. I think some of us take it to heart, some of us just think of it as, like ... the freshmen haven't been here yet, so they don't know the meaning of Big East champs. I don't think they take it for granted. They just don't know yet.

The freshmen haven't been there yet, so they really don't know the meaning of a Big East championship. I don't think that they take it for granted. I just don't think they know what it means yet.
