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...

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.

These kids in Europe are for real. Just because you can’t pronounce their names don’t think they can’t play basketball. And I think what’s happening [in the draft] is a great motivating tool for these...

We talked to the kids before this week started that we wanted to end the season playing good basketball. The kids responded to that. You want to be playing your best basketball this time of...

The fact that Marsha took a program like Texas Tech that wasn’t even on the college basketball map, took it to a national title and maintained that excellence says a lot about her.

Right now, they’re playing their best basketball. They’re coming in with a heck of a lot of confidence. What our guys better do is make sure they haven’t lost any.

I can understand the frustration felt by the many basketball players who feel that they have been forced to conform with the league’s new dress code, … Iverson and other NBA players have suggested that...

It’s like going from college basketball to the NBA. He’s still the same kind of player that he was when we saw him as a young kid, a daring, aggressive attacking player, and a player...

Think of the basketball metaphor, … He sees the whole court.

At that point, I felt that Maryland was shooting lights out. They were playing great basketball. So I felt like – I was hoping – they wouldn’t be able to shoot that way for the...

The real, many-veiled answer to the question of just what goes through a great player’s mind as he stands at the center of hostile crowd-noise and lines up the free-throw that will decide the game...

After that first day I questioned whether or not basketball was for me.

We just played poor fundamental basketball tonight. We needed to keep it simple and execute things. It?s nice to be creative on the break, but we?re not looking for a lot of creativity in a...

I don’t want them to fall prey to thinking so much about consequences. I just want them to play basketball.

We’ve been playing good basketball the whole tournament. We’re not the powerhouse most teams are. We just get the most out of our ability and we never give up.

Neither team was at full strength because basketball is still going – they were missing six players and we were missing five – but it wasn’t a bad game.

After that, we played great team basketball — we dominated the game defensively.

For 40 minutes, I think we played extremely good basketball. We came out a little sluggish to start the second half, but we stayed poised and didn’t let it rattle us.

Basketball allowed me to revere my father without him knowing what I was up to. I took up basketball as a form of homage and mimicry.

We were able to match up well with them, but we just didn’t take care of the basketball. You aren’t going to win too many games when you turn the ball over that many times.

Whether it’s the girls sophomore basketball team, or the boys on their club teams, or any activity they’re in, these kids from Geneva really showed that they’re winners. No matter what their record is going...

I just think a lot of good basketball is being played throughout the country. Without getting into specific teams or specific conferences, you see it and you do your best to monitor it, and in...

Man, it’s been fun. Right now this team is playing great basketball and we just want to keep that rolling.

I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come, … Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is...

I want to thank Texas Lutheran for the opportunity to coach the women’s basketball program. I will miss the players, the coaches and the many people that make TLU a special place.

His ability to eoke Celtic pride was incredible. He would always talk about how all the old players called him up after an embarrasing performance and wanted to disassociate themselves from the Celtics. They wanted...

I had to take care of the basketball and not force things. When it’s there, take it. When it’s not, pass it out.

Alabama A&M will be here expecting to play a basketball game. I know some people might think that because it’s a non-conference game, it might not be as big. But at this stage of the...

It was a good all-around effort for our kids. Solon Springs came in here playing good basketball and our kids did a really good job on both ends of the floor.

That’s why I’m not so emotional about it. It’s more of a basketball game than Senior Night. If we don’t come out ready to play, they’re going to beat us.

This is as good a college basketball atmosphere as you are going to find in the country. It starts with the students and this is a very difficult place to play. Our guys love to...

You have 90,000 [fans] come every Saturday, and you have 12,000 come for basketball games. So there’s 78,000 people that probably live and die more with football. That’s not going to change. But I’ll tell...

I’m going to have to be a little tougher in demanding that they reverse the basketball and work to get a better shot.

I would think those things would make you a better basketball player.

Lindsey and Jacquie are really mature personalities. Not just basketball-wise, either. They really keep it together.

They have an excellent basketball team and some great players. We played hard, but we just don’t have much depth. They are just a hard team to beat and obviously are a top 5A team....

Three-pointers are part of the game. Obviously we have some guys that can shoot the basketball, that’s why it ended up being along the perimeter because they were so strong physically inside.

It’s a group of kids that came together … and showed people that there is more basketball than hangs out in the big, power conferences. The idea of having a team in the Final Four...

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.

That was the first game we played about 28 really good minutes of basketball. It’s probably the game that got us into gear.

But when you look at what he does, it’s more football-related than basketball. He bangs in there, he rebounds well, he defends well. The work he does in the weight room, the sprints they do...

This is a real good night for the Southeastern Conference basketball. This is a shot that will be heard around the country. You look around the SEC and see it is so competitive. When a...

They’ve been very fortunate to win a lot of basketball games here. I’m just extremely happy for them.

We feel really special to be part of the only basketball program in Lower Bucks County to win a district championship, this is a rare experience. This is truly special; every time I turn around,...

Every game is important in the last 20 games; you have to win as many as you can. Whoever is playing the best basketball is going to go to the playoffs. We have to get...

At the National Association of Basketball Coaches Meeting a few years ago, they explained how pods and seeding worked. One thing was clear. If a team is a three seed, it could easily be a...

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.

Although the events of this week concerning basketball scheduling is not the reason we are making this change, the timing of that situation and the negative national publicity that Iowa State has received as a...

Chris Paul is one of the brightest stars in the National Basketball Association, a must-see player with the New Orleans Hornets whose deft ball skills and eye-popping speed have attracted admirers all over the world.
