I understand that (football) is his focus, but he’s a good athlete and in basketball you can always use good athletes. He’s 6-2 and he’s tough. I can put him in the game and he...

We’re playing some pretty good basketball right now. We’ve played well on the road this year and hopefully we can go down there and come out of it with a win.

I study basketball a lot, so things like that are significant to me. I’ll keep that ball, send it to my house.

Well I just wanted to come meet you. It said you like basketball and I watched your game.

There’s an old basketball saying. You recruit offense; you teach guys how to play defense. Not saying anything about his defense – I’m saying that in general. I think his lateral movement is quick enough....

I’m so delighted that Rick has agreed to remain our men’s basketball coach for an additional three years. When he first became our coach, I felt that if he could come here and reconstruct our...

People that have been around Tennessee basketball said it was one of the best environments they have ever seen. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support.

We shared the basketball after that 13-point (Oklahoma State) lead. We started getting good shots. We made plays.

We have a son that plays for one of the schools. I’m very interested in men’s basketball.

I’m pleased that we were able to come in here and compete against a really good basketball team. We’re just trying to survive.

We are committed to up-tempo basketball. We will press 94 feet. There’s a definite advantage because there is a different preparation (for opponents). I think the players do fit our style.

You know, we have to learn to button it up, to be quiet and just play basketball. The refs seemed to be looking for things a little, though, but it is up to us to...

It’s very hard. Basketball is my life and I can’t be out there playing right now. But I got people around me who are there for me, telling me to be patient. I miss it,...

Very, very much disappointed. We have the best record in college basketball … That?s who we deserve to play?

Ole Miss is a better basketball team because they have better players. They have greater depth, are quicker in faster in all areas. They haven’t changed in terms of their style of play, they are...

They’ve had classy kids and when you walk in their facility, you know basketball is important at that school. They’ve dominated us. They are the only program in this conference that has truly dominated us.

We take ’em from anywhere. But there are several institutions similar to us that play basketball.

I thought they played incredible basketball, given the fact that they had not had the opportunity to play together. We had two or three players that had not played varsity and we were undersized.

Shooting 34 percent in the state basketball tournament, I don’t think you’re going to win a lot of games.

E-Town is big and physical inside. They trapped us hard and we didn’t take care of the basketball.

I grew up in Michigan, so I played hockey, football and basketball. I played a little bit of lacrosse, too. My brother played more lacrosse and ran track.

He’s someone who can really pass the basketball and can score it and make his teammates better around him. We’re really excited to finish the six recruits off with him being the last piece of...

We were very lucky to pull the game out. It was the worst basketball that we’ve played all year long.

We’re trying to recreate and restore a great tradition of Arkansas basketball. This is the first step.

[Texas A&M was the highest-profile program that fell short in both football (887) and men’s basketball (839).] In both cases, we made coaching changes, and some athletes decided to leave, … In my 30 years...

They are heady basketball players who give us a good mix.

Our guys did everything they could to win the basketball game. Our guys played hard. They were terrific. … I don’t want them to get discouraged.

The nice thing today was we had a lot of kids play well and we played very unselfish basketball. That’s how we have to play to be successful. We don’t have a bunch of superstars....

A lot of it comes from being comfortable. When I first came to Chicago, I didn’t know anybody. Once I got comfortable and confident, that helped me out a lot. Once I got used to...

I thought we played our best basketball of the season in the first and third quarters. We had a plan defensively and we just put it all together. We played well at both ends of...

We came out with a lot more energy and just played basketball.

I know Michele, and her brother, Mike [a member of Goldey’s golf and basketball teams], is one of my good friends. She has a lot of homework to do, but I know the team will...

This class is special in the fact that they were completely dedicated to basketball. They’re all I’ve known as far as coaching is concerned. The thought of going back to the gym and not having...

All at once, I couldn’t figure out why I was methodically tossing a spherical object through a toroidal object. It seemed like the stupidest thing I could possibly be doing.

I disagree with coach because history doesn’t help you win basketball games. At the end of the day, what does history or tradition do to help you win a basketball game tomorrow?

The entire team played well. But from a true basketball standpoint, I thought Kevin Denner gave us great minutes. He played very good defense, went up strong for rebounds and played in near the basket,...

If basketball was going to enable Bradley to make friends, to prove that a banker’s son is as good as the next fellow, to prove that he could do without being the greatest-end-ever at Missouri,...

You have to beat them; they’re not going to beat themselves because they’re a very cerebral basketball team. They’re not the most athletic team in the world, but they’re going to negate your athletic ability...

People go through those things in regular life and basketball. I’m not the first person who’s had a span of games where they didn’t play particularly well. … It’s just my turn to go through...

The number one thing for this basketball team is that we got here. Our seniors went out with 22 wins and a sub-state berth, and I am extremely proud of them and all these girls.

Basketball isn’t as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada.

The likelihood of finding any high school basketball team with the defensive players to match with the three of them is highly unlikely. I’d like to see the team that can match up with them...

I’ve been improving in a lot of different areas. That’s why I’m happy to get this award right now because the only thing that scares me in basketball is to stop improving, stop getting better....

I think we’ve finally figured out how to play 40 minutes of great basketball.

She’s real comfortable with that role. She’s not afraid to take the shot. She’s not afraid to have the basketball in her hand. And it’s not necessarily her making the shot, but she’s always making...

There’s still a lot of basketball to be played. We visit Allen on Tuesday and they’re always tough. We have to be ready to play every night.

They wanted to run, so we’re down running because that’s our style. That’s Memphis basketball. We run. They wanted to run with us. We got the victory.

Platt High School is a very good and very well-coached basketball team. For our kids to stay with them for as long as they did is a major accomplishment for them and something to look...

We’ve played a lot of great games, we just can’t win. We’re not a bad basketball team — we do what we’re told to do, we play hard.

We played basketball like it is supposed to be played. We moved the ball, we played good defense, we took care of the ball, and we shut down their top player. It was a great...
