Rudy Gay Team Quotations

I thought this team could have done more things. We just fell short.

I'm only down there for one reason. I love my family, but my team is my family right now.

It's inexcusable what happened today. You always feel you should do more. We're the No. 2 team in the nation. We all thought we could do more.

It kind of sparked us up. They pushed us to the limit and that's what every team is going to do, but we stayed in our stuff and did what we had to do. We're going to get wins that we don't like and I definitely think this is one of them.

It's good, I guess, for my family because they don't have a chance to see me in person and stuff like that very often. But I'm only going down there for one reason. I love my family, but my team is my family right now.

This is definitely a team I thought could go all the way. And for us to fall like this, it hurts.

Last year we came out with a loss. We played BC, a team we definitely thought we could beat. This year we just want to make our presence known, especially with this being a new team. We want to show them how the Big East is.

They're a tough team. We couldn't let up at all. Every time we made a run, they made one right back at us. It was two good teams playing each other.

I think every team has lapses during the season. I think we have come out of this tournament with two wins, and I don't think we played our best basketball. I think that's yet to come.

I think personally, and team wise, things went pretty good. I really can't complain when we've accomplished some of the things we have as a team.

We're a tough team, but a lot of teams play us tough because of that. Everybody's playing like it's their last game, and technically, it is.

They beat a lot of good teams and we'd be stupid not to come out here and give it our all.
