I don't think we shot well (38.7 percent), but I think we played well and yet it took us 30 minutes to shake them, maybe 35 minutes to shake them. That's just by their tenacity and how hard they played. Providence has a young team. The three guys who I think played really well for us happened to be seniors and that makes a difference in college basketball.

It's a great opportunity for us and a great opportunity for Albany. I think coach (Will) Brown knows what a win can do and his kids know what a win can do. It's a great time of the year.Jim Calhoun
They find a way to win. A lot of the things that happened against Washington were plays that players make. Guys who refuse to lose a basketball game, guys who are down by five with 30 seconds to go but dont believe theyre going to lose. And that, as a coach, you dont teach. Maybe you try to set the mood that were still here, but you cant set the mood if you dont have winners with you.

Jim Calhoun
Josh is 20 something blocks behind where he was last year. Rebounding is down. Points are down. So I have some concerns, except I think we are a better team. We are legitimately 10 deep. When Marcus Williams comes back, I think we'll be 11 deep.
