Basketball

Basketball is a game of easy baskets ... and we had no place to go for easy baskets.

- Kobe Bryant Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I have played a lot of playoff basketball and I have never had a game quite like this, with our backs against the wall, seemingly out of it, and us just battling back and getting this win. We matured about 10 to 15 years today.

That was a heck of a college basketball game. That was two teams that were slugging it out to stay alive. A team (Xavier) that athletic and that skilled and that well coached and that tough on the defensive side of the ball looked like a five, a four or a three.

When they talk about the Final Four in the future, they'll have to mention us. We're a part of history. We changed the face of college basketball. It was an amazing run. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end.

The highest-percentage shot in basketball is Curry's meat and potatoes. Some wonder how the center acquired from Chicago will adjust to Brown's highly structured offense, but the coach isn't one of them. He's got a high basketball IQ, ... but I don't want him to be too smart. I want him to be on the block and score the ball, rebound it and block a shot. We'll work in that area.

I don't know if he's ready, but he tries every day. We've been messing around with him there. It's kind of fun to watch him. There's going to be some difficult things for him, but I think it will make him a better basketball player taking on that responsibility.

It was frustrating at the end of the half, but we were up (by four). And there was still a lot of basketball to play.

Our patience wasn't good enough. We didn't guard them in the post and they got easy baskets, but we've really got to take care of the basketball and good shots every time down the floor.

- Bill Evans Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

We may not have one name that people can latch on to, so we're somewhat nondescript. But this has been an excellent basketball team the whole season.

He shoots it from very, very deep. I really think he surprises some of the defenders with how deep he can shoot that basketball.

- Paul Hewitt Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

We had our shot and we needed a play or two here or there. I think I have a good basketball team. I wish we could have made a couple more plays ... I think we are really close.

- Jim Wooldridge Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

He was the father to all of us. He was the father of basketball in Chicago. He treated all of us like sons. His warmth, his kindness, was important to us when we were growing up as young men.

- Isiah Thomas Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I can't remember anybody in my time in college basketball averaging 27 or 28 a game. It's been a long time since I was in school. Every year there's somebody that leads the country in scoring averaging 27 or 28 a game, but his team's usually not very good. J.J. being able to do that and shoot the ball as effectively as he has with the other team's defense aimed at him is about as impressive as it can be.

- Roy Williams Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes
