Louisville vs. One World All-Stars Quotes

Louisville Head Coach Rick Pitino
"Obviously this was a very entertaining game. I'm shocked Teddy Dupay isn't in the NBA. Anybody who has a stroke like that and a cagey ball handler because he can give you slip, should be in the NBA."
"We did a good job. I wanted to play the guys who haven't played substantial minutes. We picked up our defense in the second half. We also got a chance to work on our offense. They're not the best defensive team obviously but we learned a few things."
(on Kendall Dartez) "He's worked very hard the last 10 days. It took him five weeks to learn how to work hard. He's never done it before. He's learned to work and he's getting the fruits of his labor. He has talent but it will be a slow process."
(on Reece Gaines' play in the second half) "We knew Dupay was a terrific young man and we didn't want Taquan (Dean) to go home and give up 90 points; that would be bad for his self-esteem. We put Reece in there and he played some good defense on Dupay."
