Gary Stokan Run Quotations

This year's field of potential winners is beginning to come into shape. As we head into the stretch run of the season and approach tournament time, I'd expect many of these young men to show why they deserve to be considered for the Naismith Trophy.

Coach Wright has mastered the art of getting the highest level of performance from his players. By finishing as co-champions in a very competitive Big East and making a great run in the tournament, coach Wright proved he deserves to hold the Naismith Award this season.
