We're playing like our life is on the line. We badly want to get to New York to improve and build. There are only three letters (NIT), but this is a very big deal to us.
More Quotes from Rick Pitino:
He was the biggest cheater the game has ever known. I told Jim he shouldn't be wearing glasses because he must have Superman vision. The ball would be two feet from me or Bernie, and there's Jim from the other end of the court making line calls.Rick Pitino
Under the circumstances of what David has had to go through this year, he's had a darn good year. And he's done it under the most trying circumstances you can imagine. His threshold for pain is kind of incredible. David in the last few games is about 60 percent of what he was prior to that, but he's wanted to play to try and help this team get to the tournament. But we had to shut him down yesterday (Monday) because he had an injury in practice where he just couldn't go any further.

I don't think anyone in Louisville knew how tough the Big East and Villanova was before tonight now they all know. Villanova was just a better basketball team.

He's just a prolific scorer. He is great at hitting runners in the lane and he has great range on his jump shot. And because you have to worry about some of their other players, it sets up very nicely for him.

Louisville, another popular office-pool pick, led by a measly point, 33-32, at the half. The Cardinals did win, 68-62, but not before trailing by a point in the final minutes. One might think there's a big difference between Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisville, basketball royalty the last 25 years. But there's not much of one. I told them during halftime, ... that if they think they're going to pull away from Lafayette they're mistaken. I told them it was going to come down to the final two minutes.

You have to come away with the victory. You can't play this well and come away with a loss.
