Player Quotes
Syracuse vs. West Virginia
Syracuse, NY - Carrier Dome
February 4, 2002
Josh Pace, Guard,
On playing in the game down the stretch:
"It felt good. After I played for a couple of minutes I felt comfortable. It was real good being in when it counted. We played a lot of man defense and we got to run a little bit. I like to run."
On his missed dunk and then rebound on the defensive end:
"After I missed the dunk I just went back and played defense. It wasn't anything spectacular. The ball just slipped out of my hand and I went back and played defense."
Billy Celuck, Center
On his role with this team:
"Leadership is the key ingredient that I bring to the team. I'm a little older than all the guys. I've been around the campus, the team, the coaches. I have a good understanding of what coach wants to see out there and I can talk to the guys about that."
On his play tonight:
"I think I brought a lot of hustle tonight. I was able to get some hustle rebounds. I could've grabbed a few more that I got my hands on."
