Arkansas is one of the most talented teams in the country and playing really good basketball right now. It’s hard to imagine (Arkansas and Alabama) having to fight their ways in as well as they’re...

There are a lot of ways to win basketball games, and obviously the easiest way is to score points. But when you don’t do that, there are other things that you can do — hustle...

This is what March Madness is all about and it’s why everybody bets on college basketball. It’s about cheering for the underdog and watching the Cinderella teams take on the big guns. Despite taking in...

The kids aren’t quitting. They are not going to lay down for any reason. There is a lot of basketball to be played. We need to take one game at a time and don’t look...

They said playing basketball would kill me. Well, not playing basketball was killing me.

(The state tournament) is a different level of basketball. We need to come out a little harder.

I want to be in the Guinness Book of World Record’s for something ridiculous like juggling poison-tipped porcupines, playing the piano blindfolded while tightrope walking in tights, or throwing a rubber ball in a circular...

We knew the kid [Johnson] could do it — he just hadn’t done it. He just played outstanding basketball in the second half, and we did a good job of getting him the ball.

He had a basketball IQ. He could make that kind of change. But there are very few of those guys.

I’ve been looking for a way to tell my father that I actually sort of hate basketball, and I think we’ve found it.

To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.

Basketball is important to me, whether it’s this game or a game at the YMCA.

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

He really pushes the basketball and gets into gaps. No one person can guard him. It has to be a team effort.

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.

He does one thing really well: shoot the basketball. He’s not too difficult to scout.

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...

It’s an important, important game for both basketball teams. Both teams are coming off good wins that helped us both in a big way, and to continue that momentum for us would be real important....

Sports are really big around here. I love basketball and I’ve been playing ever since I can remember.

You take 22 years of basketball (away),

I got here at noon. I figure I’ll eat, watch a little basketball here, and then maybe move to the Pub II for more basketball.

That’s a pretty damn good basketball team that we played. They’re very efficient. Most (teams) have a go-to player. That basketball team has a go-to team. They’re very good, very efficient. When a guy’s open,...

I think we had played some of our worst basketball that weekend. We felt those were some potential victories that we let slip away, but we have an opportunity to redeem ourselves.

I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.

It’s important to be playing your best basketball right now, and we’ve won four straight.

Being the best [basketball] league in the world, I think the NBA grows and looks for the best players in the world.

We just want to be sure we finish strong. We want to be playing our best basketball in the playoffs.

They are an awesome, awesome basketball team, and every coach I’ve called about them says the very same thing. In my mind, when you talk about the very elite, they’re at the top of the...

Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he’s the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players....

That’s what makes college basketball, chanting names and antagonizing the other team. It’s a good thing for us to see.

Basketball is a team game, and I’m so proud of all of our guys. They have kept working hard all year, and it is paying off for us now.

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.

Unbelievable basketball game. We did not shoot the ball well and it looked as though it just wasn’t meant to be, but these girls just continued to battle.

Frankie Muniz is amazing at everything he does. Many people don’t know that he can play the piano like you wouldn’t believe, and he can bowl and play basketball like you wouldn’t believe.

We really did a horrendous job of taking care of the basketball. I thought the difference was us not getting to the foul line, and turning the basketball over. We were very sloppy with the...

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...

It was very much like old Plano basketball. I felt it was one of our best defensive efforts all year.

He’s the smartest basketball player I’ve certainly seen. He’s multi-dimensional. There’s not one, two or three, but four things he does really well.

My whole career has been trying to please people in basketball. Now it’s time to please myself.

Drake has a great reputation in addition to teaching basketball. We are really excited to be going with him.

The revenue that he’s generated, personally and with the basketball program, it’s not only helped us in basketball but helped us in other programs as well.

Larry Bird looks like a bird, and Johnny Vagina looks like—hey, what is that in the sky?

I’ll watch the Final Four when there are three teams playing at once for two titles and one large bag of regrets. That bag is mostly full of air, like a bag of potato chips,...

We got up in people’s faces and put pressure on the basketball.

I know when you look at the annals of college basketball, he was truly one of the best. Even today, he’s revered. Those teams he coached when you go back and look them up could...

I wasn’t afraid of losing. I was afraid of getting blown out. We played a great basketball team.

We had to give it a lot tonight. We’ve played a lot of basketball. We’re just going to have to get ready and be ready to play Monday night. West Virginia’s playing as good as...

They were aggressive and played smart basketball. That was the difference in the game. They’ll give you a chance to get back into the game and just when you think you are back, they run...

He’s the only coach I’ve been around who really cares about you. It’s not just about basketball. I think, personally, that Indiana, the school, is really missing out because he’s in the trenches with all...

We both went to school at Indiana University and we were big basketball fans. Living in Dallas, there was no way to listen to our favorite Hoosiers.
