Joe DeSantis Quotations

Guys like Winchester, Benson and Job (Casimir) when they?re pushing the ball they give us energy. Victor is one of those guys because he can get a steal in the post, block a shot, get a rebound, he gives us energy on defense.

There's all kinds of research that shows this is a different generation of people coming to work for us. Companies that can demonstrate to their employees that they have genuine concern for an employee's ability to give 100 percent to the job and still have a life is very critical.

I never mentioned any teams below us when I talked about the tournament. We could have gotten a sixth seed. That?s all we were focused on. I think we deserve to be in.

We don?t seem to be doing a good job of finishing halves strong. That falls on my shoulders.

We gave them a good battle for 17 minutes. I promised my team that when I watch the tape tomorrow I won't look at the scoreboard. I'll look at how we played. We played hard. They made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.

We gave them a good battle for 17 minutes. I just think (Connecticut) is so good, so well-coached. They just made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.

We stuck with what we do and we made plays. These kids deserve credit. Craig made the big shot and we made enough free throws down the stretch.

For the first 17 minutes, we played probably the best basketball that we've played since I've been here. They're just too good. They made a run, we couldn't stop them.

Too big and too strong at every position. It becomes a case of, how do you want to play them? They made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.

They made it difficult to run our offense. We could never really get our offense going. I need to do a better job of getting these guys to be a little more disciplined. I want them to continue to play loose, but I don?t want them to settle for the first shot.
