Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III

On Villanova's second half run…
Our defense disappeared. We cut it to, I forget, five, six, something like that. What stands out in my head, I don't know if it was in the middle of the run or the beginning, when Josh hits those two three's. We didn't bounce back. We didn't bounce back. That's how I'll articulate it right now.

On Josh Hart…
His mindset. His mindset as much as his ability. He clearly is a worker. On the court, in the contest, I don't know if there's anyone in the country who plays as hard as him. For four years now, he's given his teammates confidence and energy.

On preparing for Villanova…
They share the game. They have good offensive players who are selfless in that they don't really care who scores. It's tough, it's tough to guard them. We guarded them in stretches and then we didn't. Most of their games are like that. They go on a run in the first half at some point and they go on a run in the second half at some point.

On Georgetown's turnovers…
It killed us. We're talking about a team, an offensive team like that and we can't have careless turnovers. I don't want to say that was the key to the game, but it really hurts.

On L.J. Peak being in foul trouble….
I've said before, most of the year, for us to win, we need L.J., Rodney (Pryor) and a third person to play well. For L.J. to be so limited today with foul trouble against this team, where he normally draws the toughest defensive assignment, hurt us at both ends of the court.

We just have to have a new mindset, a new slate. We've got to win four.
