Coach G on the Villanova Game:  "We played a team that was playing at a different level tonight.  Villanova plays a great brand of basketball - they guard well rebound great and are so efficient offensively.  This game will prove beneficial to us in the future.  For our guys to play in this kind of environment, against a top ten team is a special experience. It hurts tonight but it will help us over the long haul."
