University of Louisville Men's Basketball Post-Game Quotes

Dec. 3, 2005
Louisville Head Coach Rick Pitino
"This was good game for us. Obviously, we wanted to get the victory and have nobody get hurt. When you have three games in a row, that's essential. Taquan had a bump on the knee, but he was fine."
"Prairie View worked hard. They don't have the size or ability we do, but they worked their tails off."
(On David Padgett) "He's out of shape, but for the shape he's in, he played great. He hasn't played basketball in three weeks, but under the circumstances, he played awesome. David is a very good runner, quick jumper."
"David is an excellent passer - he finds people. He's a coach's son, he understands the terminology and understands the game really well."
(On Juan Palacios) "We got Tello some rest a little bit. His hasn't quite got his hops back. He hasn't been able to work on that at all."
(On U of L's 26 assists in the game) "BJ, Andre and Chris played terrific. Terrence was not letting the game come to him in the first half. Chris gave us lift on the defensive end, got the other guys involved. Andre played great defense."
Prairie View Head Coach Darrell Hawkins
"Louisville has an outstanding team - the guys play very hard. Coach Pitino does a great job. I know people say they're struggling, but when you get a player back like David Padgett with 17 points and 10 rebounds, don't start writing the obituary just yet."
"I'm very proud of the way we played, but to beat a team such as Louisville, you have to have everything working."
