Louisville Head Coach Rick Pitino
"We were hoping for a run and we got it. Just like his father's coaching style, Nolan (Richardson) has his team constantly trapping the ball and they took you out of your offensive scheme. We turned the ball over way too much and it took away opportunities for easy shots. The positives were the play of Ellis (Myles), Reece (Gaines) and Joseph (N'Sima). We are happy with the win against a difficult style of play."
"If you space and pass properly you'll get your run but it was more of the defensive play of Joseph, Ellis and Reece that helped us got those runs. We have to get 13 or 14 guys in this defensive mindset of not giving up any baskets."
(on Ellis Myles' 23 rebound performance) "Ellis is working his tail off and people should get paid rewards for their work and he is. It's up to the young guys to see why he is playing so well. He is getting his just rewards and it's not easy to do what he has done."
