Winning a Big East regular season and tournament championship meant more than a National Championship

I think that actually might mean more than the national championship. Deep down it is... Boy did we all miss, you know, Jimmy and all of us... it's much better fighting your own neighborhood. The guys you know, the guys you have to recruit against.

The 2004 UConn team had the best talent of any I ever coached

I th I think the magical team might've been all for... Because number two in draft Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, Marcus Williams, six first round draft choices not all at once, but that was the best team I should say. Best talent.
