We'll start with Chris Collins of Northwestern. He actually won his game, but he was not thrilled
00:07
with the accommodations, let's just say, that the Big Ten put Northwestern up at with their hotel.
00:12
Let's hear from Northwestern head coach Chris Collins now.
00:17
Our guys are just a tough group of guys. They've had a lot thrown at them. Even last night,
00:22
they put us in a hotel. The rooms were 1,000 degrees. There was no A.C. in the hotel,
00:27
and our guys' rooms were 85 degrees, and that's where the league puts you.
00:31
So every way they turn, they're trying to get us, and our guys just are a resilient bunch,
00:37
and they just fought, and they played with a toughness and a chip on their shoulder,
00:41
and it was a really good win. Check your mailbox. There'll be a bill coming from the Big Ten.
00:49
Everywhere we turn, they try to get us. You're right. That one's going to cost them a couple
00:54
bucks after saying that about the Big Ten, and the good news is they fixed the air conditioner
00:59
today, I saw, but they're going home anyway because they're getting smashed.
01:04
Let's get real here for a second. Let's do some evaluation.
01:08
Chris has been there forever, and he's never done anything.
01:12
That's very true. It was a really bad year for Providence and head coach Kim English.
01:17
At least he was able to admit that after they lost to Butler yesterday.
01:21
Yeah. Disappointing effort. Disappointing outcome, but play true to the pitiful,
01:31
embarrassing season we've had, and that falls on me, and the work to correct it begins, and we will.
01:44
Yeah, he's getting fired.
01:46
To the pitiful, embarrassing season that we had.
01:52
When you say that at a presser, and all eyes are on Providence, you're getting fired.
01:58
Probably. Here's Ed Cooley, the head coach of Georgetown. Of course, he was very, first of all,
02:03
you lose to DePaul, who never wins at a Big East tournament. That's a problem in itself.
02:10
Now, this kid, Thomas Sorber, of course, they lost him at the end of February. He was their
02:16
best player all year. Freshman kid, going to go in the NBA. Ed Cooley was very upset
02:23
that Sorber was not named the Big East Rookie of the Year, and he found last night after losing to
02:28
DePaul to be the best time to let everybody know about it. I pray that that kid comes back.
02:36
I pray he comes back. He will be the Big East Player of the Year. He will be a first-team
02:40
All-American. He will be a lottery pick, and we will be cutting the nets down in this building
02:45
next year, at this time, come this Saturday. That's exactly the way I feel. Shame on our
02:50
coaches for not recognizing that. Seriously, shame on the coaches, because that kid more
02:55
than earned it, more than deserved it. And again, I'm praying my big boy comes back,
03:00
because if he does, this room will look blue and gray.
