“This is the biggest win I've ever been a part of. Louisville came out with a swagger in the second half. But I knew we could win if we just made some plays. About the end of their third quarter, their offensive linemen just started laying down.”
Craig Wilson
“We've never been a Top 20 team, at least not yet. Don't get carried away with beating Louisville. Any win in the Big East is great, but I wouldn't use it as a barometer.”
Rick Pitino
“The biggest thing is to have a swagger when you take the field. When you're not going well, you have to change something -- the biggest thing is the way you carry yourself. You have to walk like you belong with the best, go up to the plate like you know you belong with the best. That's swagger.”
Bruce Bochy
“It hurts because this was a game you gotta win and we didn't. But we got Louisville coming in and they got the same (Big East) record as we got. They're fighting for their lives so they're coming in ready to play.”
Gary Waters
“I want to congratulate Louisville on playing a great game. We were lucky to win. I also want to congratulate my guys on hanging in there and battling and coming back in the second half. We got back to playing Virginia Tech football in the second half.”
Frank Beamer
“We have the swagger to prove to the conference that we're good enough to win it. We feel like we can be the Duke of the mid-majors.”
Quinton Young
“That's the thing about the Big East. We got a big win at Louisville. Initially, you think that Rutgers and St. John's would be easier, but really, the Big East is so tough. Rutgers took Villanova to overtime, and they have a really good chance of making it to the NCAA tournament.”
