As a child, I always said I was going to be a professional basketball player like Michael Jordan.

I put a basketball hoop in the trees, to help the squirrels and give them a nice net to store their nuts for the winter. But that’s just the kind of thoughtful guy I am.

OK, I’ll put it like this: I doubt if we will see another All-American basketball athlete who is a Rhodes Scholar.

I’m never satisfied, but that was one fine basketball game from the Mercy side. We did all the little things we needed to do.

Apparently there was a huge miscommunication between the coaches in that even though we specifically told the basketball coach it was for this year, they had it in mind that it was for next year.

I don’t think that we were sluggish. I thought they played an exceptional basketball game early and that put us on our heels.

It’s a tough field. Obviously there’s a lot of tradition and a lot of prominence in women’s basketball represented here. It bodes well for high-caliber games.

It was time for us to step up. We played team basketball.

I think we were pretty fortunate. Not many kids get to play basketball together for that long. We had such good chemistry. We pretty much knew what the other guys were going to do —...

ESPN, is having the ability to foretell future outcomes in sports.

It feels really good to finally pull out a win. I’ve played basketball since I was 6, and this has been the most frustrating season.

We still lack the maturity that when you have control of the basketball game, you can’t let anybody take you out of it. We had a lead and things started to go awry. We lost...

Basketball is a game of runs, and we got our run just at the right time.

I think he’s going to be a really good college receiver. I believe he has basketball in his heart, but the bigger offers from colleges are going to be in the football end.

The first half I thought that we played pretty good basketball. We didn’t really shoot the ball particularly well but we rebounded the ball well enough to stay in the game.

I drink coffee like other men play basketball. I drink like a woman, and that’s why I use a slightly smaller ball.

We were in here earlier. We’ve played this game once. Now we just try to focus on the basketball aspect of the game and not all the hype.

TCU is an excellent basketball team. They are five or six shots away from having six or seven more wins.

We wanted to come out and put our foot down and let people know that we are a good basketball team.

Basketball is a game of runs. It’s just all a matter of how you handle it.

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...

This puts us on the youth basketball map. There’s all-star games, but this is the all-star game. It’s the one everybody knows. There’s lots of All-America teams, but when you say McDonald’s All American, that’s...

I believe Adam Williams will personify our spirit and enthusiasm have at Marshall. He is an outstanding basketball player and will add to our program in many ways.

They set the tone for what college basketball is today.

Definitely not. I don’t like how it looks, but I don’t play basketball for looks.

That’s the way basketball is sometimes. They hit shots and we didn’t hit shots. Sometimes basketball is that simple.

You know what’s so crazy about it? In high school, I played basketball and I was a trash-talker. Basketball is such a one-on-one sport and if I know I’ve got the ability to beat the...

We’re not going to play their game. We played half-court basketball (in the first two games) and got in trouble.

Lynden is a good basketball team. There is no question they were better than us. That certainly wasn’t the best effort we had.

I am thinking this now and I thought this last week when we lost, if you ever wanted a basketball game to end in a tie, this is one you would want to end in...

I think this is the hardest day of basketball in the nation. We’re expected to play two teams that are well coached, two teams that are very good, in the same day with what, three...

One of the areas the NBA has affected college basketball is the big guys. If they’re very skilled as young guys, they take them early. The guys who are able to benefit from maturing four...

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

There are tennis and basketball courts in Chili. How do you know if Chili residents are using them?

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.

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

We caught a team I thought was playing some of its best basketball. I thought Chris Hunter was a catalyst. He helped us get out of the box early. I thought with our defensive struggles,...

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 am happy to see him bounce back. This game (basketball) means so much to him. I don’t know many players, seriously, that this game means more to than Maurice Ager.
