ON THE RECORD
"I think they were more ready for us. They were ready for us then, but they were more ready for us today. Also, Jamorko Pickett wasn't really able to play in the second half - I think he only played seven minutes of the second half because he started cramping up … we couldn't make shots." - Head Coach Patrick Ewing on the differences between the two regular season games against DePaul
