From the Washington Post write-up of the DePaul game:
“'I just told them what time we’re getting on the bus,' Hoyas Coach John Thompson III said when asked what he told his players in the locker room and if the NCAA tournament was discussed. 'The tournament, we’ll see. You’ve seen and heard what we’ve done. It’s kind of hard to sit and talk about that following this loss. We’ll see. I don’t know how things look after today.'
...
“'We beat a lot of good teams this year,' Trawick said, referring to victories over ranked opponents Virginia Commonwealth, Michigan State and Creighton, among others. 'We played a lot of good teams this year, but like Coach said, it’s hard to look at that after this loss tonight. It’s disappointing that we didn’t come out with the win. At the end of the day, I think we’re a tournament team.'”
And the beginning of the first (and currently only) comment on the article:
"Yes, Jabril; the Hoyas are a tournament team. A National Invitational Tournament team."
