St. John's Head Coach Norm Roberts
On South Florida:
"They change defenses quite a bit, they will start out man to man then they will switch it up into different zones, a match-up zone, a 1-3-1 zone, they could play a 2-3. We have to attack them. We have to make sure we limit the touches of Kentrell Gransberry because he's a big key to their team. We're going to have to have to trap the post and make it tough on him to score because he's so powerful."
On how the team will match up with Gransberry:
"I hope they will be able to take away angles and beat him to the spot. Gransberry is bigger than Leon Williams from Ohio but he's pretty close to Arinze Onuaku from Syracuse. Arinze is a very powerful player. We're going to have to do a better job than what we did against him with Gransberry."
On how to get the team hyped up to play on the road this weekend:
"We've won there before, and we've just got to get the guys focused on the game at hand and stay focused on what we need to do. We have to take them out of their comfort zones, and if we can do that we have a chance to be successful."
