THEY SAID IT
I don’t react to anything. Anybody in this league can beat you at any point, especially at home. We ran into a hot Clemson team that shot the ball well and did some good things. We’ll bounce back and we’ll work on the things that we need to, and we’ll get ready for, I think, Notre Dame." Coach Kevin Keatts
"We needed that one bad. We were 0-2 in the league and we were staring at 0-3, and we've got to go to Raleigh and NC State (next). Hopefully we should be more confident." Notre Dame coach Mike Brey after Saturday's one-point win at Syracuse
"We've got to pick these games up so we can come out and compete against Duke and North Carolina as well and win those games. We don't want to push ourselves to the point where one loss turns into two and that turns into three. We can't get too down on ourselves. Obviously we're all kind of mad we lost that game. But we can't put our heads on it too much. We have to move on to the next game." Graduate forward Pat Andree on Saturday's loss at Clemson
