Recap | Box Score

Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III

"They are a very good team, a very talented team. And because of that they have answers for things that you do. When you play Connecticut you try to take away their transition baskets, their second shot. You look at the stat sheet and they had seven points in transition, probably pretty low for them, and six offensive rebounds, which is also probably pretty low for them. But, at the end of the day, they have very good players. We would make a run and their players would make plays."

"In the second half we did a decent job of dictating the pace and dictating the game. In the first half, we did not do a good job of that. We were taking contested shots too fast. In the second half, I think our shot selection got a little better. I thought we got better looks. We ended up getting open shots, but a few key ones didn't go in."

"Their players stepped up and made key plays. Every time we came down and cut it to five or six, one of their guys would make a play."

On Hilton Armstrong: "He's a very good player. He can score down low, he can make a shot, he's long, he's athletic and he has pretty good players around him."

"As a team, they have answers. You can focus on one person, but they have someone else that is a very good player that can step up."
