and other comments from his post game interview on 1500 with Mike Grimm and Spencer Tollackson:
Richard Pitino:
• I'm trying to look for it on the stat sheet, I think when Murph got his 4th foul, it was a 3 point game, and I think the game changed then. He's too valuable, when Bakary and Gas aren't giving us much. For 33 minutes or 28 minutes I thought we were really battling. It's hard when the ball's not going in the basket.
• On Murphy's 4th - it was on a backscreen on a half court play, he grabbed a jersey, you can't do that, he's too valuable to the team.
• On OSU shutting King down - I'm not so sure they did a whole lot, Joey was getting good looks, just wasn't making them. We were trying to get inside, we just didn't finish. I thought Nate was getting to the basket, just wasn't finishing.
• On Morris - He's battling, he's not perfect, but he's fighting. He's trying really really hard, doesn't mean he's not making mistakes, but he's giving effort.
• I'm not sure, I gave a big speech about throwing the 1st punch, but I think we threw a big 2nd punch. I don't know what it is with these slow starts. Credit to them, they're a good team.
• On Gilbert - he's just got to continue to get quicker, part of his problem is speed, he dove on that loose ball, hit 2 3's which is big.
• People are down on us, I get that, but we need their support more than anything. We need a great home court advantage, I get it's a 2 way street.
Thad Matta:
• We put them on the foul line in the 1st half, we weren't as sharp as we needed to be for a 15 minute stretch. It was a game of runs, fortunately we were on the winning side. Once we started executing, we were getting the shots we wanted. Gotta keep building.
