“Were growing up. Were not going into the locker room all rowdy. Its like, weve got to move forward to the next game.”

“Oh, man, sometimes it goes like that.”

“Everyone was sitting around acting like we blew it. Everybody was like, Oh my God. We blew our opportunity to win. But I looked at the guys and said, Come on, we have to stay with it. Theres no way we come this far to have them take it from us. We knew our game plan was going to pull us through. Thats what happened.”

“I give all the credit to Saint Louis. They did a great job contesting our shots and being real physical.”

“Were not defending like we usually do. Its putting us in a position where we all have to score the ball, because were not getting stops. Were not defending at all. Thats been our motto. Thats our identity. We defend, and we get stops.”

“Theyre so long. Everybodys 6-(foot)-5 and up. They have long arms, and theyre in the passing lane. You get the ball and get trapped, and somebody comes out of nowhere to steal the ball. Its tough.”

“The final score definitely is misleading. We didnt play Xavier basketball at all. Im really disappointed with the loss.”

“We just came out with a lack of energy. We didnt have that pop that we usually do on the defensive end and on the offensive end. I dont know what to attribute it to. We cant come out flat like that. We have to come out with that fire from the get-go.”

“I was the last one to walk in, and I expected everybody to be jumping around. We were happy about our performance, but guys were like, Next game. We have to keep working.”
