It’s not that he was Michael Jordan, but who is filling the 10 (points) and four (rebounds per game)? Who is even attempting that? Somebody just has to step up.

I’m a basketball player. That’s what I do.

If you (eventually) add 1,000 students, that?s a lot of kids on this combined campus. Let?s not lose track of what it will eventually be.

He’s a player on the rise. And I guess you could say he arrived today.

I’m not mad. We’ve got the players to do it. It’s just a matter of you’ve got to do it. (For example,) you all are two good reporters. You all go get the information. I’m...

I ain’t got nothing positive to say.

We came out and played horrible the other day. It’s our first game back, whether it’s them or DePaul, whatever, we need to come out and establish ourselves.

It’s hard to rebound out of the zone. You can’t hold nobody accountable. Me and Cedric were more than happy to get 15 rebounds. He’ll get 20 rebounds all day.

Our fans have just been wonderful for us. I’d like to thank them. When we get in a slump, they really help to pull us out of it.

We’ve still got games left. We’ve just got to win three.

I thought I’d seen an electric player before in Jermaine Lewis , … but Dante is in a league of his own.

Now it’s like his butt sticks out a little bit more.

It’s a very big game. We all know that if we win, our chance of getting in the NCAA tournament goes up. Even though we messed up, there’s always hope. We’ve still got a chance.

At the end of the day, I didn’t play well, I missed free throws I should have made. I don’t know where to start, I don’t know where to end. I shot free throws like...

It was like mine was after Marquette. Plus he’s so skinny, so it looks bigger. The top half of (my ankle) is still fat.

It feels kind of good even though it’s not the big one. At the end of the day, I still have a chance to win my last game.

There have been a lot of ups and downs. Every time you look up something else is happening. We haven’t had any breaks. We just have to keep fighting.

You get sick of giving up almost 40 points a game, week after week.

In the second half, we came out with our uniforms on but left our hearts in the locker room.

It’s going to be very emotional for all five of us seniors. Wow. No more games at the Shoemaker Center.

This is a must-win for us, too. I understand where Louisville is coming from, but for us to contend for the title, this is one we’ve got to get.

I think with this win, if we win against Syracuse, we’re definitely in. That’s a team on the bubble. We have to make sure we handle our business against them. That would make us 2-1...

I don’t want to say we were robbed, but we’re trying to prove it against everybody we play.

We’re playing pretty well. We just need to get things together and go on a little run here.

We’re becoming consistent now, and that’s what we strive for. We’ve put a couple of games together in a row and that’s all we can ask for. That was a quality offensive football team even...

I refuse to say anything bad about anybody on my team. I’m just looking at the stat sheet as we’re walking. That answers your question.

The only thing that’s changed is he doesn’t play. You couldn’t tell the difference if he wasn’t dressed. The only thing he doesn’t do is play.

It’s been a tough road, I ain’t going to lie. I’ve earned every one of those.

It’s all we’ve known since we got here. That’s what we’re looking to do again this year.

You feel like a second-class citizen when you have the No. 1 offense and the No. 32 defense year in and year out.

They just gave it to us.

We all went out there with a purpose. I’m not saying we didn’t go out with a purpose every week, bit this was a do or die situation and we got it done today, I...

It’s like a dream you had that was almost real. I remember sitting at the free-throw line shooting two free throws. I was thinking, I don’t care if I miss it or not, I’m going...

Look at all we’ve been through and we’re still here with 19 wins.

I’m fresh off a loss. I’m not happy about it. We’ve got Monday, there’s always another day – for the next couple of weeks. If we don’t start taking care of it, it will start...

This is a very big win. If you look lately, a lot of teams have been beating the top-ranked teams. We needed to do that. We needed a signature win, and I think this is...

I’ll either play for Huggins or Andy Kennedy. When I came here, that’s who I intended to play for. So yeah, I’d play under Andy Kennedy. That’s my only option, being a senior and all.

I was warming up [Friday] and I kept looking around for him [Huggins] and seeing if he would walk into the gym.

That’s what happened when we don’t come to play. Look at my line — 4-for-12. If I don’t come to play, we don’t stand a chance. I’ll take responsibility. No matter what’s wrong, what injury,...

I welcome them all with open arms. At least we can get through practice.

We got beat by 20 points in front of our first sellout crowd. We just got smacked. I played hard, but it wasn’t enough. People came out with uniforms on, but I guess everyone’s heart...

I feel like he should have been on first- or second-team with me. But that’s not going to do anything but fire him up. I know James, he’s going to come out with his bounce...

I just wanted to get back in and help my team. [Louisville] was fighting to get into the conference tournament and we were too. It was a big win. I needed to get back in...

It’s still swollen; what can I do? I don’t have time to rest. I’ve got to walk to class. It just needs time to rest, but I’ve just got to deal with.

We just need to keep grinding and hope they don’t have a 52 percent shooting night because they’re going to mostly be 3s.

When he first came to the team, he caught on to our offense real quick. It usually takes a couple of months, but it only took him a couple of weeks. I knew he was...

That is a must. That’s the season. It’s a must-win.

This is what everybody’s been looking forward to. Some people still have got us written off. That’s fine.

If he’s not that guy, he’ll be close to the guy. It’s amazing what he’s been able to do as far as blocking shots at his size (6 feet 6). Everyone I’ve talked to in...

It’ll be nice playing in the city, in Madison, but when it’s time to play, it’s time to play. At the end of the day, it’s basketball.
