"When we started the Big East Tournament, some fans of ours were yelling to us from behind the bench, “Maui in Manhattan”. For the championship game, they even had lei’s around their necks… They put one around Kemba’s neck after the game. The start of our season was so fantastic with what we accomplished in Maui and we bookended it with last week’s accomplishment in New York. They are two memories that will last a lifetime for me and for our players."
