Basketball

Our focus coming in was execution on both the offensive and defensive ends. I'm very happy with our kids and how they played. This game helps us understand the level of basketball we need to play at this point in the season.

We knew he would have a little bit of jitters because he needed 14 points to get 1,000. He didn't have a good shooting game. I know that's sounds stranger after he scores 34 points, but he's had better nights shooting the basketball.

Only seven wins last year, but we lost our big kid early and we started two freshmen. This year we started two sophomores and a freshman. We played a little better basketball.

We've had a good run the last five years and that's a credit to the kids and the coaching staff. We always seem to play our best basketball of the year once the tournament begins. And we're going to have to play well on Friday to stay with South. They've got a great team this year.

We need to play four quarters of solid basketball. We've played a good half or even three quarters in games, but we haven't closed teams out.

Their athleticism was tremendous. We had no chance to rebound tonight. We forced 28 turnovers, but we weren't able to finish shots in transition. I think 76 points is enough to win a college basketball game, but we couldn't stop them.

It was nerves. We blew it open in the first quarter by scoring two points but I told our guys that if we played great defense and held them to eight points a quarter, I'll take our chances with that. We settled down and started playing basketball.

We tried to take Cook away, and Silver stepped in and really filled the void and made us change what we were doing. We had to almost man-up Jordan, and when you man up someone who is 6-10 and a Mr. Basketball finalist, he's going to score 26 points, which is what he did.

This class is special in the fact that they were completely dedicated to basketball. They're all I've known as far as coaching is concerned. The thought of going back to the gym and not having them is unimaginable.

- Christina Dahl Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

For three-and-a-half quarters we didn't really play very good basketball. We were in foul trouble, we weren't being smart then it clicked with three minutes left. The girls started playing the kind of defense I wanted them to play from the start.

- TJ Bailey Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

We have two basketball players. The other kids are athletes. In an up-and-down game, hopefully, our athleticism can take over.

- Tom Robinson Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

Our kids are very unselfish and very basketball intelligent. The only way we can win is to play that way.

Not only in our league, but I think they have to be one of best backcourts in college basketball.

There's less of a degree of luck in something like the Academy Awards than, say, a basketball game. There are a lot of other things that can't be handicapped (in a basketball game).

The NCAA basketball season is really heating up and with conference play in full swing fan and betting interest is really picking up. I'm sure these odds will continue to change throughout the season, but there are already some surprises. For fans who bet on Florida at 100-1 or Memphis at 50-1 earlier this year, there could be a huge payout come April 3.

The name has magic to it. There's nobody in basketball that when I say the name Gavitt they don't respond.

- Jim Calhoun Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

It's Big East basketball. Big East basketball is that way. It's a physical game every time you play in the league.

- Norm Roberts Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

Our defense has played OK. If we would play better offensively, that would help our defense. Our turnovers lead into baskets for the opponents, and we have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball and taking good shots and that will help our defense.

- Jason Hanson Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

We handled the pressure. We talked about containing the basketball on defense and not letting them penetrate and kick it out to one of their shooters. We were patient and not forcing things on offense. We were getting good looks at the basket, and I felt we did a good job of rebounding on both ends.

That's the thing with college basketball. When confidence comes, you play better.

- Justin Gray Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

It's playing defense, diving after loose balls, sprinting back on defense to break up a fast break. People forget sometimes that these are 18- and 19-year-old young adults. They go through so many personal things while playing college basketball and taking college courses.

- Scott Schumacher Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

We look at it as a tremendous challenge, an opportunity to play one of the great programs in college basketball and see where we stack up.
