Rivalries and Competition

"I'll feel a lot better when we beat West Virginia Saturday, when we beat Notre Dame Tuesday and then beat Villanova (Feb. 26) when they come here. You want to win every game. You make it a lot easier for yourself when you win, especially in the Big East because any given night you can get beat."
"I really want to beat Syracuse. We've never beaten them before, and that would top everything off completely and make us feel good about our last home game."
"They were calling themselves, ?The New Bullies of the Big East.' It shows what we did to them tonight. We played a lot stronger than we did at Villanova and it turned out good."
"You have to have tough, physical guys to get away with that. That's what Villanova has. The advantage is you get a big advantage on offense but a disadvantage on defense. But I think it balances out. But you have to have tough kids to do that. They have tough kids and veterans so they can get away with it."
"Villanova is always scary, because of the way they space the floor and force you to play small ball."
"A lot of times games are built up and they don't fulfill their promise. This game more than fulfilled its promise. Villanova may be, pound-for-pound, the toughest team that we've played anywhere, any time. Early in the game, we had to match their toughness. They were getting every offensive rebound. They were hustling like crazy. Unless you have a tough team, you cannot win this conference. It was like an old Big East backyard ball amongst two really good teams."
"If you saw the Villanova game, we played a great game. They just shot the ball tremendously. There is nothing you can do about that. At the same time, we have to stop Notre Dame from the three-point line. If we do that, we'll be in great shape."
"We've just learned what to do since our freshman year and that's not to get excited and to execute when we need to. We just played Villanova basketball better than Louisville played Louisville basketball."
"Maybe we don't look like we're tough guys, but the bottom line is we get the job done. I know, Villanova was tough. They were city kids. But we're going to play our game no matter who the other team has."
"I don't think anyone in Louisville knew how tough the Big East and Villanova was before tonight; now they all know. Villanova was just a better basketball team."
"There is no question that Villanova is the team we most dread to play. I am so grateful to get that game over."
"There is no question that Villanova is the team that we most dread to play. I'm glad we were able to be victorious, because they really wear you out."

They're long and athletic and well-coached, and it's difficult to play against them. But I thought we defended extremely well. To hold (Loyola) to 50 points is quite an accomplishment. And we rebounded the basketball."
"I thought Loyola was dangerous. They've been losing games, but not by a whole lot. They're a good team and they played inspired lacrosse."
"Northwestern has always been a tough team to play, and we have to play them on the road, which will make it tougher."

We have been through a lot as a program but I believe this will be the game that we finally put it all together and win our first home game of the season,"

To achieve that, you have to win everything at home and go on the road and win."
"It's fair to say we're much improved from playing these three matches against three very different teams. I'm not sure we'll play an opponent as good at serve, pass and receive as UCSB for a while. For us to go toe-to-toe and out-dig them says a lot about where we are."
