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.

They have a good basketball team and they play with a ton of fire. We had to up our level of energy to match theirs.

There’s a lot of chatter in basketball and, rightfully, you want players to be talking to each other… But sometimes in practice, it gets too verbose… so I tried to take things out of the...

Pete Berman sized up his competition like a predator lining up its prey. Gerry Williams dribbled once with his left hand, stopped on a dime, and nailed an open 15-footer. He had played on the...

That was maybe the best half of basketball we’ve played all year. And it was against a very good team. I thought that (Westport) team was a team that could win it all this year.

I think the Mavericks — our team — we’ve kind of forgotten who we are as basketball team and what made us successful. It wasn’t shots on the offense. It wasn’t holding the ball. We’ve...

We learn to make a shell for ourselves when we are young and then spend the rest of our lives hoping for someone to reach inside and touch us. Just touch us—anything more than that...

I think we’re a decent basketball team. I hope we can get better.

But lots of my friends know I play college basketball and they’re starting to think about coming here to the U.S. to play.

I had a son who wanted to play college basketball, so this is what we did. We made up a resume sheet that had his picture, academic and athletic information, and then put together a...

We’re just a different basketball team when Pops is in the lineup. Our offense is able to flow with just a little bit better fluidity with him out there because of all the attention he...

It was great playing with him, getting to know him and the rest of the guys throughout traveling basketball.

two of the best players in basketball.

We started executing offensively and got stops defensively. Basketball is a game of runs. We had to sustain ours a little longer, and we did.

My dad has had the biggest effect on me. He played Division III basketball in college. He got me into it early and coached me when I was younger. He’s supported me all along and...

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.

Basketball is a minute part of his life. Now is a crucial time. Hopefully he will be healthy.

I think he’s having an outstanding season. He came back to Barton a lot better basketball player. He had a good year for us last year, but, now, he’s having a great year. He’s making...

When we went down there that, as a U.S. basketball player, you’re kind of like a rock star off the court, but the minute you step on the court you are the most hated opponent...

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

I don’t care about numbers, man, I just want to win basketball games, … I just want to get Milwaukee back in the playoffs, and if we do that I’ll be happy.

We were sharing stories about basketball boyfriends.

I?m excited. I can?t wait to play the basketball game. We know at this time of year, it?s one and done. You have to put it all on the line all the time.

The Highland basketball program will move forward. And that’s all I’m going to say about the issue.

After the first half, we got the jitters out of the way. We started playing basketball.

Are we a basketball school the way Kentucky and Indiana are? Not yet. That’s the goal. Will we get there? That’s the goal 15 years from now.

It was a great basketball atmosphere. It was a real scrappy ball game, but we hung in there and got the baskets when we needed to. Defense wins games in Tri-Districts.

This is reminiscent of a period about five years ago when (National Basketball Association star) Magic Johnson got AIDS and any company with anything to do with AIDS research went up, … Those companies that...

That was a great basketball game. I thought our kids played with energy and purpose from start to finish. But so did our opponent. It was a great game to be a part of.

It’s a real shame because Ticha was probably playing the best basketball of her career, the best that I’ve ever seen, for sure, … She was even brilliant in our scrimmage (Tuesday). It was right...

For the first 17 minutes we played some pretty good basketball. But down the stretch we lost focus.

We aren’t playing defense and we aren’t rebounding the basketball. This has gotten off to a bad start, but we have to find a way to turn it around.

I think it is in Jack’s best interest to continue working toward his degree without basketball as part of the equation. It is important that he focus on his studies in order for him to...

We’ll be back. This Tennessee basketball team will go down as one of the all-time best, and this was the group that got it started.

Obviously Indiana is a big basketball state and one of the most important sports in our county. It will be hard to put last week behind us because we are so excited and it has...

We have to let this loss go and focus on playing our best basketball to end the regular season. I want all their energy channeled toward playing their best against BYU on Saturday. It’s the...

There is still a lot of basketball to be played.
