Posted by frankpos on March 8, 2009
“I am real proud of our basketball team. Not only for winning the Big East Championship in a year that could be the toughest since the inception of the league, but to do it on the road against such an extremely well-coached team in this kind of atmosphere. “
Coach Rick Pitino
*************
“This environment was tough, but we’ve played at Kentucky and at Syracuse with a record crowd all screaming that they hate us. It was different here though. It was all gold and Jerry West was in the crowd… I still don’t believe it. We’re just soaking it all in right now.”
Terrence Williams
