Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2003
Carrier Dome, Syracuse, N.Y.
On the ability of Syracuse to finish games:
"This team has answered the call every time someone has taken the lead from them in the second half. "
On the play of St. John's:
"St John's has been very tough to beat on the road. They've dominated some teams on the road -- they've played very well on the road. They did the things they had to do tonight to win. We did a good job of making them take tough shots. I think you have to give St. John's a lot of credit – they're tough kids."
On being undefeated in the Carrier Dome:
"The crowd has been great this year, all year. I think that's been a factor. And we've got guys who can make plays."
On the leadership of senior Kueth Duany:
"I thought Kueth stepped up huge tonight. He really stepped up big and hit that three and hit that tip-in. He was a huge factor tonight."
On the impact of Josh Pace:
"Josh did a great job in the first half. He made a couple big plays. Josh hasn't played a lot, but he did a good job, and I really have no fear of putting him in there."
On freshman Billy Edelin:
"I think what we're asking him to do is the most difficult thing you can possibly do, and that's to try to go out there and play after sitting out there a year and a half. I think it's been a constant, every-day struggle for him, and I think he's been doing as well as he can. He's had some huge moments for us."
