Tonight was a matter ordsprog

Tonight was a matter of our ability to rebound. It's been something we've harped on, maybe even too much. But knowing that this day would come when we played against a team that bullies teams on the boards - and I mean that as a compliment - it was really encouraging to see us go toe to toe and be able to hold serve in that area.

It's been something we've harped on maybe even too much, knowing this day would come when we play against a team that just bullies people on the boards. I mean that as a compliment.

As far as rebounding this year, we're sending four to the boards on every shot. There are times in the game when we're sending five to the board. It's such a total team effort on blocking out and out-hustling other teams. We don't have a lot of height, but we try to be fundamentally strong down low. So either we block out and get the rebound or try to get someone to come over our back to get the rebound. And speed has a lot to do with it. We try to get to the boards first before anybody else. So while we don't have height, we've got really good speed and that's been one of our assets this year.

I just think Tennessee is one of the elite teams in the country. They rebound better than any team we've ever seen. They just crushed us on the boards, and I think that was obviously the difference in the game.

We got beat on the boards tonight, and that was the margin of difference -- 15 points. It looks worse than it really was. It was a pretty good game. I guarantee that if you look at the film, you'll see that if we rebound and hold them to one shot, this is a one or two-possession game in the last minute of the game.

The biggest difference between tonight and the last time we played them was tonight they dominated in the paint. Offensively and on the glass, they kicked our butts. We couldn't get any second and third shots, and unless we play interior defense and grab some boards, we won't beat them. They're solid ? the better team won tonight.

We're playing with more intensity and we're playing harder. If we keep doing that, we're going to beat most teams. If Yao plays the way he played tonight, and if we could get everyone to play with him to the best of their ability, then I think we could be a really good team.

Our defense was encouraging tonight, and we were able to show forth more of a physical presence in the middle, and we were active on the boards. ... I thought we set the tone real well tonight, and we made some shots, which never hurts.

They killed us on the boards. We?re not a tall team by any means. We would get our one shot and they would get five or six shots. We were all missing them. We kept trying to rebound, but they were too big inside. We played with a lot of hustle and desire. We fought like crazy.

Getting beat on the boards seemed to be a very significant part of this game. You have to give them a lot of credit for pounding the glass. It seemed like every time we've played them the last couple of years, they've been much better prepared on the boards than we have. We got beat by a team that did the things they need to do within their scheme in order to win the game tonight.

The main thing we're worried about is keeping Hope off of the boards. We've watched film and all of our scouting reports say that they can rebound extremely well. They're a really athletic team and they jump really well to the ball. If we can't keep them off the boards, then it's definitely going to be a long night for us.

Plays like that that, we need more often from myself, Rudy ? guys who are really athletic. It gets the team going and gets the crowd going. Everybody has their ego. I'm not going to take anything away from Villanova calling themselves, ?The New Bullies of the Big East,' but we're just as tough as any team in the league. We played hard, we played tough and we're a damn good team.

There was not as much pressure on me tonight knowing I hadn't played in a while. At the same time, if we had lost, we could have been eight points behind three teams.

Andrew Raycroft

We definitely started crashing the boards better in the second half. We knew if we weren't going to get the rebounds now, when are we going to rebound? Rebounds always matter, no matter if it's the beginning or end.

They were calling themselves, ?The New Bullies of the Big East.' It shows what we did to them tonight. We played a lot stronger than we did at Villanova and it turned out good.
