Bruce Pearl Team Quotations

Great players are going to have to step up if you're going to beat the best team in the country. Certainly Chris carried us.

I think it's very wide-open. I think LSU is obviously the team to beat as SEC (regular-season) champion. I think Florida comes in playing extremely well, as does Arkansas.

This thing is wide open. There is a lot of parity in this league and any team is capable of winning it.

Florida looks to me like they're the team to beat.

Sparks makes that team better because he's so versatile. He's a threat from three, he takes big shots and he does a great job of getting his teammates involved.

I hope if Kentucky ever becomes irritated with me, it's because my team is good enough to compete with them.
