“How special do you want to be?  Pay the price.”

Rick Pitino

Scribbled on in a Madison Square Garden locker room during halftime of the Louisville/Villanova during the Big East tournament.

Louisville came out of that locker room pumped up.  They overcame a 26-34 halftime deficit by going on a 17-2 scoring run and won the game 69-55. Louisville played passionate defense, forcing ‘Nova to commit 12 and shoot 34.6 percent from the field.

To be special you have to decide you want to be that way and commit to doing what it takes to reach that outcome.
