Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III
On Amadu Kilkeeny-Diaw:
"We went through a stretch where we couldn't stop them. Amadou is a very good post defender. We put him in there and our defense got a little bit better. I thought that was the key. Throughout the game we were getting points, but I just thought when we put Amadou in there our interior defense got better and all of a sudden the rebounds started bouncing our way. Amadou's defense during that stretch was key."
On Darrel Owens:
"The kid can shoot. He has a good size and pretty good range. He can handle the ball a little bit so he can get his own shot. He needs to do more things than consider himself a shooter but he can shoot."
On tonight's game:
"I think our guys are getting a comfort level and getting to the point that we have options. We have not played well here so I thought it was good to get a win here. They played well. I thought our guys were pretty poised tonight. We were lucky to get out of here (with win)."
On St. John's:
"They played us up here last year and pretty much took us out of everything we wanted to do. What they did is what we expected. They were pretty aggressive. We expected the pressure they threw at us. They have guys that can guard on the perimeter and put pressure on you so that is what we expected them to do."
On the team's shooting:
"It varies being honest with you. As long as we are getting quality shots. You are going to have some nights where the ball just doesn't go in. We played them here last year and we got the exact same shots but we missed. We were getting shots, the ball just didn't go in. Tonight it went in."
On the team's perimeter play:
"If people want to take our interior, we have other choices. Jeff (Green) was our third leading scorer. He had 11 (points). They did a good job of taking away the post. Hopefully we can continue to grow and continue to progress as a team so that we can have answers if people want to take things away."
