Well we can kiss an ACC invite goodbye! Add ND to the list that don't want us to ruin their seasons!

On the game in general...
"It was just that one basket and that one stop we needed. You've got to give credit to them because they played an unbelievable game. But we just needed one more game-changer. That kind of just seemed to be the way it was a the end of the game."

On defending Connecticut...
"It's tough but a lot of teams in the BIG EAST have that. They have the good big guys and the great guards, so it's something that we have to dig in. We have to bounce back quick. I think it just hurts because we didn't really prove how good we are yet and this loss set us back because although UConn is a great team, they are not getting the credit they deserve and so that gives us less of an advantage when we lose to them."

To strike a more positive note on ND, their players are very respectful, thoughtful, and selflessly complimentary. I don't hear any of that "we are the better team, but just didn't play well" comments.

OK, I'm ready to spit on them again.

You start to act reasonable the older you get.

Especially some UConn "fans" who compared these players to a UConn team that featured a pitcher and a soccer goalie.

I always thought that was too much of a consideration for them!
