Today was the best we've run our offense all season.

We'll be alright. We need a few days off, we'll be ready to play. It's sad that you have to play such great teams back to back then you have six days off. It's not the right way to play your best basketball. I am proud of the way we've battled back though. This has been a very difficult way to start.

Gerry went out, we were down five. He never came back. When you lose your best player without any practice time or anything, that's a huge mountain to overcome.

I don't think the overall identity of the conference has changed. We've been a good conference, and we are a good conference. There's more teams, I guess that's the change. The only thing that people really think about conferences is who the best teams are. We're going to have a lot of the best teams, like we always do.

I'd say it's one of the best, if not the best that we've ever had at Syracuse. That's over 44 years at Syracuse.

When you lose your best player without any practice time or anything (to prepare), that's a huge mountain to overcome. I think this is a great lesson for the other guys, that they can win without Gerry. That'll help make them stronger, give us a chance to rest Gerry. Other guys know they can step up and make plays.

These four games, they're probably the best of anything I've ever been around.

Our defense was the best it's been all year in the first half and most of the second half. At the end the game just got crazy, I don't know what you'd call that.

It's a great win. I'd say it's one of the best we've ever had at Syracuse and I've only been here about 44 years.
