Jim Calhoun Lead Quotations

We lead the country in field-goal percentage defense at 37 (percent) coming in. We average 9.6 blocked shots per game. All those numbers would tell you that we did not do the things that we're capable of doing.

We were living on an 11-0 season that meant absolutely nothing. We took a 15-8 lead and from then, didn't play an ounce of basketball.

It's amazing that we were playing Kentucky for the first time. But we're trying to earn (recognition) as a lead program in America, and hopefully we continue to do that. It was obviously a tremendous, tremendous basketball game.

It was one of the most disappointing losses we've had in an awful long time, mainly because we got off to such a poor start. We played like a team that had a 25-point lead at the Carrier Dome and then beat a team by 23 at our place.
