We played smart basketball. We made too many mistakes in the first half, so we slowed down the game in the second half and didn’t try to get into a running battle with them.

He’s someone who can really pass the basketball and can score it and make his teammates better around him. We’re really excited to finish the six recruits off with him being the last piece of the puzzle.

If it ended tonight, I think we’d be in. There’s a lot of basketball left to play but it doesn’t hurt to have this win on our resume.

We were not in basketball form at the time. But I think we’re now more confident with each other and understand where we’re supposed to be at.

We need to have a great effort defensively and take care of the basketball. I can’t imagine us not being emotionally charged up to play them.

I think a lot of the players don’t realize that you only have one basketball career and it doesn’t last as long as you think. The money might be there, but actually being out there on the court, that (stuff) doesn’t last. And until people realize that and realize that you have to help each...

People go through those things in regular life and basketball. I’m not the first person who’s had a span of games where they didn’t play particularly well. … It’s just my turn to go through it. It’s the first time in my seven-year career that I played probably four or five games that weren’t really,...

The hand check has always been a part of pro basketball.

Delaware was selected among several institutions that were interested. There is tremendous interest in women’s basketball in Delaware and we know that the university will do an outstanding job of hosting our premier women’s championship.

North Dakota is not an easy place to win basketball games. I was proud to carry on from Dave Gunther and proud that we did it the right way.

Things started out really rough for us. We had a lot of kids who came in late from basketball and soccer, so it took them a while to catch up. But starting out 0-8 was pretty tough and stressful and that was because I anticipated us having a really good season.

Rogers has started learning what it’s like to be a basketball town — our community’s been starved for it. The crowds have been there. They’ve really been a force for us. It’s really been like an extra player.

I hate to see him go. He’s been great for the game of college basketball.

With him in the ballgame, we are a different basketball team. We have a place to go inside to get some baskets and rebounds and he alters shots.

We know we’re a good basketball team. Even with rankings and all that sort of stuff, if you really knew our program you’d know these kids play for each other.

All I know is that I’m the basketball coach here at ASU. I have a contract. I have a year left on my contract. I’m looking forward to going and coaching this week.

You have to beat them; they’re not going to beat themselves because they’re a very cerebral basketball team. They’re not the most athletic team in the world, but they’re going to negate your athletic ability by playing smart.

It’s like basketball players being told not to use their arms. Right now all the judge did is he put up a wall. I don’t know how they can function with this. I don’t know who they’re going to turn to because these people are not qualified to do what they’re doing and now they...

We old athletes carry the disfigurements and markings of contests remembered only by us and no one else. Nothing is more lost than a forgotten game.

I’m a Christian first. I’m a family guy second. As much as I like coaching, as much as I like basketball, it’s third, fourth, or fifth down the line.

We need to play 40-plus minutes of really good basketball. The last couple games, we’ve got 30-plus, but that’s not good enough at this level to win the game.

It’s going to be 32 minutes of tough basketball.

We played our best basketball of the season in the first half. We were very aggressive and shot the ball very well.

We call him ‘Baby Magic’ because he can play anywhere. He’s very intelligent about the game of basketball, and you can tell he’d be a good coach someday.

We have to make sure to take care of the basketball. We hope that having a veteran team that has played in the playoffs can help us.

I think sometimes basketball teams north of the Trinity River are sold short. It speaks well of both teams. It speaks well of northern suburban basketball.

We may have been a little bit tired. But certainly we didn’t do a very good job of stopping dribble penetration.

I thought it seemed like every team had one or two pretty good players that you had to focus your defense on. You certainly had to pay attention to those guys or your chances of winning were slim.

I don’t know that I’ve ever coached a team that has won in this gym.

I think she’s a wonderful person. I think her basketball knowledge and relationship with the girls was outstanding.

This is a very, very good basketball team. And it was a big win because we had to win it the defensive way.

I think we’re a great basketball team and they thumped us pretty good in the second half.

There’s an old basketball saying. You recruit offense; you teach guys how to play defense. Not saying anything about his defense – I’m saying that in general. I think his lateral movement is quick enough. That’s what you look for.

I’m a huge fan of college basketball, and I take my kids to the Final Four every year. I got lucky this year that my alma mater is in it.

I wouldn’t say scary. Basketball is basketball. They’re very good. We know we’re very good. We need everybody on their ‘A’ game if we want to win.

He’s one of the most intelligent basketball players I’ve been around. This was a great idea. It worked ? right in the nick of time. If he would have said it a minute-and-a-half later we would have lost the game.

I don’t know my limits.

I think women’s basketball hinges on not just the play of, but the personalities of, its superstars. I think Courtney and Candace fit that bill. But as far as a head-to-head rivalry, they don’t play the position. It’s kind of like Kobe and Shaq. It’s different. They’re both really, really good, but they aren’t going...

We certainly would like to have him back on our basketball team. But we have to take a look at everything when the season ends, that gets into money situations, roster spots, draft picks. We have to look at all the different things, so it’s too early to tell anything.

E-Town is big and physical inside. They trapped us hard and we didn’t take care of the basketball.

If basketball was going to enable Bradley to make friends, to prove that a banker’s son is as good as the next fellow, to prove that he could do without being the greatest-end-ever at Missouri, to prove that he was not chicken, and to live up to his mother’s championship standards, and if he was...

I’ve written in every imaginable location; a repurposed closet, the kitchen table, the bleachers while my kids had basketball practice, the front seat of the car when they were at soccer. In airports. On trains. In the break room when I was supposed to be wolfing down dinner. In the back of classrooms when I...

I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available.

They came out strong and very aggressive in the first half. We weren’t strong with the basketball. Give them credit but we have to do a better job of being strong with the ball.

It’s a good thing it’s not a track meet. It’s a basketball game.

Shooting 34 percent in the state basketball tournament, I don’t think you’re going to win a lot of games.

He ‘ s not a raw kind of talent. He ‘ s got some sophistication to his basketball game, and I think he will progress quickly.

Wiggins is the real deal. She’s the Vince Young of women’s basketball.

We have to play our brand of basketball, no matter what they are going to do. They will slow it down, but we have to take control of the game so they can play our way.

two of the best players in basketball.
