The depth of this league is grossly understated. There's a lot of teams that can pull off an upset over George Washington. So yeah, I think it's a wide-open tournament.

The first half was really a disaster. We didn't match Duquesne's intensity. We couldn't make a lay-up. We were very fortunate to be within eight points. The second half, we played tremendous.

These guys have been through far, far worse. Most of these guys were on the 20-loss team from a couple years ago; last year we were on a seven-game losing streak. They've seen it all.

I really thought the difference was our defense in the second half. (Enright) had a tremendous first half.

I just thought it was very important for us to have a winning season. I think the fact it happened very early is a great testament to our players. It really speaks to how much they've improved and how hard they've worked.

They are huge for us. We don't have a lot of offensive firepower. Jermaine and Darnell are solid guards, and we are much better when they are able to make their shots.

They did a great job doubling Steve. But we had a lot of contributions.

It was a great game, a great environment for our fans and for our community. Our seniors are phenomenal people who have invested their blood, sweat and tears. Then, we also passed the ball extremely well against one of the best zones in America, which shows progress.

The atmosphere is far most positive because of the results. La Salle has an unbelievable basketball tradition. Our other peers in the city, St. Joe's, Temple, Penn and Villanova, have consistently been strong. We've had an inferiority complex with seeing our peers being in the postseason every year. There's really been a resurgence of pride that La Salle can get back to where we were in the past, which is a prominent program.

(St. Francis) scored (12) points in the first 17 minutes of the second half.
