Delgado's comments from multiple questions from the media.

Remember, his English although better is still a work in progress.



They had a lot of juniors and seniors. We're mostly sophomores. So were here to grow and get better as a team.

I expect a lot of teams to challenge us, but we'll be ready for them.

I told all the guys we're not losing this game no matter what. We had a one week of preparation and we came out in the second half and played better.

I really don't like jumping in the stands with the students. But I really appreciate Seton Hall. That was unbelievable what they did. I'm really proud of them.

Going into overtime my thoughts were to just get stops. If we do we'll win the game.

This was a big win for the program. Last year they beat us by a lot of points. But that was at their home. But now they had to come here and we protect our house.

I agree with coach that I play better when I play hard on defense. I played better D (in the second half) against the pick and rolls.

Yes, I do see a difference in how we're handing wins this year. When you think about it we're not going to play this team any more. So we have to forget about the game. It's a big win but now we have to get ready for the next one.

It's important to get Desi rolling. Sometimes he puts his head down but we are here for him. That's all that matters.

I was really happy for Ish. Sometimes the guys almost make me cry on the court. So happy. He was making stops that a lot of players can't make.

The locker room was like a party. I like to see my teammates happy. That's all I care about.

We always come back. We run the court hard. We don't stop. We don't let anybody stop us. Our mentality is no one is going to stop us. No one expects us to be that good but we're going to show everybody.

To keep our momentum we have to play together. That's all we need.

Last year we played good. But then we started losing. Nobody likes to lose but this year after we lost games we came back. We learned from last year.

It's harder to comeback to win than to be up the whole game. But we never give up. With 5 minutes to go they made two threes to go up by seven but I said to my team pick it up. I believe in them and they believe in me.
