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.

It’s not over until the final tick of the clock. Hopefully, the basketball gods will bless us.

Once you begin reviewing judgment calls, which in basketball there are many, you put yourself on a very slippery slope in terms of what could be reviewed, and ultimately the number of reviews that could...

I don’t think so at all. We’ve got a good basketball team.

We are very proud to unite the best of professional and college basketball as we look to reclaim our dominance in both World Championship and Olympic competition.

We call him ‘Baby Magic’ because he can play anywhere. He’s very intelligent about the game of basketball, and you can tell he’d be a good coach someday.

We’re not playing our best basketball right now and haven’t been. I think that for the first time the confidence has to be shook a little bit.

This league has evolved and hopefully we bring some credibility to it. And people will appreciate the quality of basketball we’re playing, as well as the other two schools.

We know that we’re playing a great basketball team and that we’re certainly going to have our work cut out for us. But I’m looking forward to going back and playing an old rival all...

If we don’t get into the NIT, I’m still going to have a basketball in my hand (today).

I think that we’ve got to focus on trying to come down the stretch here and start playing better basketball. Every night we’ve had some really, really intense, physical games the last three or four,...

Basketball was my favorite. Probably because I was better at it. It came more naturally for me than the other sports.

Playing basketball, I blew out my knee like it was a birthday candle. Sports are so much more fun to play when sitting at a table and opening presents and eating cake.

As an athletic department staff member, he is so loyal and so committed — not just to men’s or women’s basketball, but to the whole program. He’s not been able to give to the whole...

He’ll just dunk on you. Lots of people would call that style. I wouldn’t. I just call it good basketball.

Through the winter months, during basketball season, he found time to get to the weight room and to work on his throwing. There are things like that he took the initiative to do and it...

We’re thrilled to be able to celebrate our boys basketball centennial by directly involving the fans, who have supported our tournament in great numbers throughout the years is a fun was to get folks interested...

She’s got a very bright future. She’s a very talented young lady who understands the game of basketball and the team concept. She understands her strengths and the strengths of the people around her. You...

Clay just finished with basketball, and I know he’s going to settle down and pitch well for us this year.

We’ve got to be able to take care of the basketball, manage the turnovers, control the boards, and we’ve got to be able to make good decisions in the half-court game. [URI is] a team...

Credit Minot. They came here to compete and won the basketball game. I felt they wanted it more than we did. We showed a little life. Then, all of a sudden, we backtracked.

We were not in basketball form at the time. But I think we’re now more confident with each other and understand where we’re supposed to be at.

She’s an exceptional basketball player she plays a lot older than she is. She’s the heart and soul of that team. As she goes, they go.

Coach has kind of been getting on us, saying we’re still not really playing Denver Nugget basketball.

It’s going to be 32 minutes of tough basketball.

We played a very small stretch of decent basketball out of a 48-minute game. We’ve been defending the 3-pointer pretty well this year, but it didn’t happen tonight. We pretty much know where we’re going...

I know that topic keeps coming up, but I’m most interested in quality basketball. We’re having a hard time sustaining quality basketball, and tonight was as bad as it gets. Everything we tried didn’t work....

All the basketball and football tapes, restoration might cost $75,000. We’re hoping to get a grant. David and I both, we’d just like for Dad’s work to be preserved in a way that people who...
