I was very pleased with our second-half effort. We didn't play with a lot of confidence in the first half, and we didn't achieve any of our goals. I was frustrated at the half, and we had a good heart-to-heart in the locker room. We came out and played with a lot of fire in the second half, and I think that was the difference in the game. - Tom Collen Quotes

Sometimes when you feel a little embarrassed you respond better. This is a brutal stretch (Rutgers, at DePaul, Connecticut, Marquette, at Pittsburgh). It's kind of like a death march. We're more familiar with DePaul, but we have to find a way to come back. DePaul doesn't have the mystique like Rutgers. I think we came into Rutgers with a little fear. - Tom Collen Quotes

We called four different plays and didn't score on any of them. I think that was it. We had hit the wall at that point. - Tom Collen Quotes

They're a veteran team that's well-coached. They like to pound the ball inside, but they're also a good shooting team from the perimeter, so they protect their inside game. - Tom Collen Quotes

The same thing happened last week at Pittsburgh. I told them, 'If we're going to be good in this league, then you got her, you got her, you got her and you need to get your girl stopped.' We had a little bit more of that in the last 10 minutes, and as simple as it sounds, that was a difference-maker for us. - Tom Collen Quotes

We've got an NCAA resume that might be the fourth-best resume in the conference. We wanted to win this first game and get the insurance policy but we didn't do that. I think we have to trust that the committee's not going to go back and throw the whole season down the tubes on us. I think it would be hard to toss us out. - Tom Collen Quotes
