Obviously Quincy went to work today. And when he goes to work, it's hard to guard him.

Remember, we lost two of our last three games, and that stopped us from getting to the NCAA. We're actually playing better, but (playing) on the road is a different case. Now we're playing game by game.

Playing Princeton is like pulling teeth. It's been that way for a long time.

It's a good possibility we won't have Adrian the rest of the season. It hurts, obviously, because in my estimation he's one of our best defenders and he's an inside presence.

In this league, with how competitive this league is, that's a big difference. You don't have any games that you can call 'gimme' games. There are no surefire wins.

It hurts because this was a game you gotta win and we didn't. But we got Louisville coming in and they got the same (Big East) record as we got. They're fighting for their lives so they're coming in ready to play.

I thought Anthony for certain parts did an okay job on him. The thing is, when he's coming off a ball screen, you can't handle a ball screen one-on-one, you need help. We didn't help as much as we should have.

There's nothing to say. We played a game where we were down three starters. I give Quincy credit for trying to fight, but when you're missing your third- and fourth-leading scorers, it's hard to play like that. There was a point where we had three walk-ons on the court. It just makes it hard.

I have to give DePaul a great deal of credit because they could have backed down in that game when we were up by eight in the last four minutes of the game. But they kept fighting.

We've got to execute defensively late in games. That's what's killed us.
