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...

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...

Sometimes in basketball you don’t think, you react. That’s exactly what I did.

Obviously, we’ve got to do a better job of taking care of the basketball. I’m not quite sure why we’re turning the ball over more now. I don’t think we’re seeing any greater pressure than...

That is going to be nice. This will make the basketball in this state a lot more skilled. We have great athletes, but not a lot of skilled programs. This should help.

I couldn’t throw a basketball through a hula-hoop, but I could drink coffee through a fishing net. But why do that when I’d rather fish with a thermos?

It’s not just the basketball. It’s about learning things in life.

I’ve felt all along that Greenville basketball is as good as any in the state this year. I think there’s a good chance that someone from Greenville will be in Columbia.

We haven’t become a bad basketball team because of one game. It’s not anything to start panicking about or anything to be concerned about. We did some uncharacteristic things in that basketball game that we...

I’m not sure we were all focused and on the same page. That’s not Bears basketball we played tonight. I think this was just an off night.

I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.

Taft is an outstanding basketball team. I can see why they’re favored to win their section. Not only are they lightning quick, but they can shoot too.

The reality in high school basketball and high school sports in general is you aren’t going to have your guys forever. It’s time for them to move on. They’ve gotten everything they could out of...

Come on. Football is instincts and reaction. It’s not basketball, where you’re waiting for somebody to set a screen. It’s ludicrous.

We are extremely excited that these two young men will be a part of the Michigan basketball program. Both players are versatile with outstanding athletic ability and commitment to academics. We think they will have...

I think putting four kids in double figures tonight really shows were growing as a basketball team and that’s an encouraging sign.

I think we’ve done something tremendous for college basketball, for the teams that are out there that watched us play, you know, just to show them that all you need is opportunity and a chance.

Some American guys talk and try to intimidate you. Basketball is basketball. You put the ball in the hole, and you’re going to win the game. You’ve just got to keep playing your game.

I think this is going to be a great atmosphere even for non-basketball fans. We have two stellar teams with a chance to go head-to-head in a pivotal game. I’m sure it’s going to be...

The key to playing Detroit is being ready to play physical basketball. They are very physical, and they aren’t going to give you anything easy. We have to be ready to match that.

She’s been a leader in women’s basketball for a long time. It’s a close to a great era.

We’re trying to change a mind-set, because there has been a lack of success with men’s basketball. One of the biggest things when I came in was to look at it from top to bottom....

Our quickness on defense caused them problems. We’re playing our best basketball right now.

These girls have played a lot of basketball, so they knew they could come back and win.

Primarily, the result represents what was best for college basketball at this time. It ensures we will continue to have an undisputed national champion every year, and at same time be able to preserve the...

It’s been trending that way the last few years. The business of college basketball dictates that you can’t wait until the spring to get recruits. If you wait until spring, you’re dead in the water.

He’s a three-sport performer. He plays for me, then averages like 20 points in basketball and was a state-qualifier in the hurdles for the track team. He’s impressive.

We have yet to play our best basketball. That?s a good sign to be up 2-0 and not have hit on all cylinders yet.

I’m just playing basketball, man. I trust the referees to make the right calls. I don’t need to cry about it or nothing. That’s part of playoff basketball.

They’re a very good basketball team and we’ve got them on their home floor. They’re fresh and they don’t have to travel a day. I mean, I could get to the East Coast as fast...

With basketball, it depends on how far you advance in the tournaments. The farther you get, the more money that the school gets back.

We needed it. It was very good for us to get back to playing Ole Miss basketball. When you don’t practice at all, you forget your defensive principles. Just the sharpness goes away a little...
