Mark Gottfried Chance Quotations

We're 1-of-10 from the 3-point line and we're right there and have a chance to win at the end of the game. We're down three and Ron had a pretty good shot at the end.

Last year we felt we had a team could really make some damage in this tournament, and we didn't do it. So for our returning players, I think there is a little bit of the attitude that we want a chance to do this a lot better than we did last year.

I think it's a good decision. I think he's got a chance to be one of the premier forwards in the nation next season. He became a leader on our basketball team this past season, and I think he'll continue to mature as a player. And I'm also excited because he's on track to graduate next spring.

First of all it's going to be a tremendous challenge. They are ranked third in the RPI and eighth in the AP. They are very underrated and will pose problems for us. On the other hand, our guys are very excited about having the chance to upset a team that is highly ranked.

I've tried to explain to (Davidson) the advantages of him as a senior here, which I think would far outweigh any gamble. He's got a chance to be one of the top big men in the nation.

There's a cost to attending these tournaments. If I'm not going to get a chance to play top schools, my athletic director would not let me go,

It's unbelievable what they've done and, hopefully, we'll get a chance to keep playing.

I'm proud of our guys. I think our players just decided to rally, play hard and do everything they can to give themselves a chance to win.
