Here we are playing great basketball, and you’d think they’d take these things into consideration. From an academic standpoint, it has not served us very well. We’re going to have to go to the other...

The thing that’s nice about them is their unselfishness and their will to win. A lot of kids want to play basketball. These kids enjoy playing it.

We talked about coming out and playing 32 minutes of solid basketball and I think we played 27 or 28 minutes very well.

They’re an improved basketball team. They’re really playing within themselves. I think Coach (John Giannini) has done a great job of not letting opponents get comfortable. They do different things depending on who they play....

He plays anywhere there’s a game. He lives and breathes basketball.

He raises the I.Q. of your basketball team ? he helps us tremendously,

From a basketball standpoint, this team is going up. And I wanted to be a part of it.

As far as the approach to coaching, it’s no different. Basketball is basketball. The kids just want to learn the game.

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

We ran into a team that played better basketball than us. I think we can play a lot better and we can shoot a lot better, and the other team had a lot to do...

Our team is based on defense and transition basketball. We gave up 88 points tonight, and that’s very disappointing.

We just have to play better. We’re in control of our fate. We just have to play better basketball down the stretch.

You’ve got to give them credit defensively, but we just weren’t really strong with the basketball. There were three or four times where they just took it from our hands. We were just careless, and...

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...

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....

Basketball is my favorite sport, and I’m also a very passionate football fan.

We corrected a big no-no from the Georgia game in taking care of the basketball.

We really focused on controlling the basketball and making them work on defense. To make the separation we had to do the grunt work.

We played a full 40 minutes of sound basketball.

It’s the greatest sound in college basketball. The crowd makes this noise, like ‘ oh no ‘ when a guy who’s hot gets the ball and has an open look. Even before he shoots, before...

Monroe is an outstanding team. That’s how playoff basketball is.

Me and Nico always played basketball in the summer.

We’re extremely disappointed that our institution has been cast in a negative light as a result of our men’s basketball scheduling practices the past three years. I honestly believe that Iowa State University did not...

Ohio State has a strong agricultural program and the other schools didn’t have what I wanted. I’ll miss (basketball) but education is the most important thing at this point.

I knew Ed’s intentions were good. Ed is just a basketball guy and that’s what I appreciate about him the most. He’s going to add a lot to any bench he chooses to be on....
