Steve Burtt Quotations

We're really down. We felt it was a game we could compete in and really win. All our guys played our hearts out. The guys are really down because we really believed.

With time you get to know somebody. You get to know their movements and you get to know where they're going to be. We're all comfortable with each other shooting, driving and making decisions on the court, and that helps us a lot.

But we're not going to let them beat us by just standing still. We're going to make them work.

Guys are really down because we really believed.

He's a grammar fanatic. He has a grammar fetish. He's the one who corrects everybody.

This was one of those nights where every shot feels good, even the misses. I felt that way the entire night.

It is hard playing for him. He does ask a lot of us but he knows what we are capable of doing. We just have to go out and prove it to him.

That was the driving force. That was in all of our heads and we wanted to prove a point and end that curse.

That's the reality of it. We don't talk about it but it's in the back of our heads. We know we're parting ways.

We're like a family, us four. Brothers. It's not just basketball with us. We all hang out together. We come to practice together, we leave together, sort of do everything together. We include each other in everything we do.

We still have unfinished business. We still feel like we have something to prove.

This should send a message to the whole league. All year teams have come in against us and treated us like we weren't the No. 1 team and gave us their best. It's great to get a win like this and send a message that we're a team to be reckoned with.

The bridge is closing between major and mid-major schools. In recent years kids are more talented, not that they weren't before, but kids are much more talented coming out of the mid-major schools. Major schools underestimate that and that's why you have more upsets.

They're a tough team and come out hard and play every night. They know how much (Anderson) meant to them, and they step up. They're the same team without him.

They're a team to be reckoned with. They're a tough team that hits you from a lot of different angles.

It's just hard-nosed. Basketball with an attitude, so to speak.

I tried to break my fall. Me and him were falling toward the ground, and as I grabbed him, I guess he thought I was grabbing him in an aggressive way and he tried to get aggressive, and he made us fall. I didn't want to let go because I didn't know what he'd do if I let go because he was really aggressive. I didn't mean to.

They beat us to every punch. Seton Hall never let up on us at all. They did a great job of helping out and playing great team defense.

You could say a lot of things, but they beat us to every punch. They didn't play us 1-on-1. Every time I got the ball it was a team effort.

You can't get flustered. They were right picking us as the first team in the conference. We have the pieces to the puzzle to put this thing together. We just had a lapse tonight.
