We usually have a 24-hour rule to celebrate or pout after a game. We moved the clock up a little bit. They were jubilant on the floor, but by the time we got back to the locker room, they were looking at me like what do we need to do next. - Jim Les Quotes

Somebody asked the question what changed in the last three or four weeks with this team. It's the mentality. We haven't let our offense dictate who we were defensively. Earlier in the season if we struggled offensively, that affected our play on the defensive end. I don't care what happens on the offensive end. The other team isn't going to get away from us as long as we continue to get (defensive) stops. - Jim Les Quotes

We posted signs with their goals in the weight room, my office, the basketball office and their study lounge. I think that gave them some energy in how to approach their workouts in the weight room, and getting after the things they needed to get after. - Jim Les Quotes

We'll throw our best punch and see what happens. I don't care what anyone says. Our league is a major basketball conference. It's a battle night in and night out. We play against a lot of different styles. We're prepared to play against a physical team like Pitt. - Jim Les Quotes

These are rare opportunities that you don't get second chances at. That's the one point I keep emphasizing over and over. And I think we've managed to keep it all within our 24-hour rule -- you can only celebrate a win for 24 hours or pout about a loss for 24 hours. - Jim Les Quotes
