Melvin Buckley Quotations

It feels like every game we're in a position to win the game. One of these days, we're going to figure it out.

That was crucial. I was like 'Wow, here we go again' ... this time, not to even get a shot off.

The only thing I can come up with is, we just didn't do it. We've been playing teams tough, but the Big East schedule doesn't let up.

We have enough talent within this five- or six-player rotation to pull off a lot of upsets. We can come in with a sense of confidence, knowing if we play defense as well as we can, we can do that.

It's just a matter of pride. Every guy in the locker room has 'pride' written across their chest. We know we're not going to get blown out and if you're not careful we're going to nip you. We're doing our best with what we've got.

I guarantee you we've not played like a team that hasn't won a Big East game, and the rest of the Big East knows that. It's crazy. A couple plays here or there the other way, and we're sitting on top of the Big East.

You come into Freedom Hall and hold Louisville to 57 points, you can't say you didn't do a heck of a job. We just made a couple of mental breakdowns at the end.

You come in knowing you're going to play 40 minutes against the best competition in the nation. You can't think about it. It's too stressful. It's tough, but it's what you have to do.
