Will Barton on the St Louis loss and Josh Pastner (Warning: Martin article)
http://www.espn929.com/johnmartin/Will-B...s/19550112

... On the Saint Louis loss in the NCAA tournament his sophomore season: “To this day, I still think about it. It makes it hard for me to watch college basketball, because all I think about is that game. I thought we had a real shot of going deep if we could've got past that first game. It was so hard, so emotional. I was wanting to win for my team and coaches and for my city, because they deserved it. I felt like I let them down.”

“I watch film of it every year. My first year I watched it. Last year I watched it. I’ll watch again this year. It’s always a motivation for me. I’m always looking for that extra advantage. Anytime I’m feeling real good about myself, I watch it so I can really be disgusted with myself. It takes me to a place i don’t wanna go and it makes me wanna work hard because I never wanna feel that feeling again. It really levels you. It really humbles you. I watch that game every year.”

On the Josh Pastner debate: “How can you really criticize a guy that came in when they thought it was gonna be over? All he did is go to the NCAA tournament every year he’s been there except one. He’s won regular season conference titles, conference tournaments, 20 and 25 games. He’s got (wins) in the (NCAA) tournament. He was playing in one of the best conferences in the NCAA and they were right there at the top. How can you really say he can’t — how can you criticize coaching when he’s bringing big time recruits every year, top classes, and all he does is continue to get to the NCAA tournament. All he does is continue to stay at the top of the conference even though it’s changed. He’s got wins over top 15 teams now. To me, he’s just getting better.”
