Answer Quotes
If, in fact, South Carolina had won, my hope would have been that the last team on the board, regardless of conference, would have been the one eliminated, not a team from our league. I don't know that anybody knows the answer to that question. I don't think it's important at this point in time.

Against Quotes
He didn't pitch poorly. He made good quality pitches. There were a couple of balls that were into right that were dying quails. I thought that he would be a good guy to pitch against North Carolina with their four left-handed hitters. Had he pitched poorly tonight we would have gone with anybody else.

Continued Quotes
Kevin has demonstrated continued improvement in each of his last six National Hockey League seasons. His years in Carolina were marked by several standout performances and we feel he can provide stability and leadership to our goaltending position while several of our young prospects develop.

Again Quotes
I think you would have to say that Gov. Bush has had a rougher passage to the nomination. McCain stung him badly in New Hampshire and then came back from the South Carolina to win again in Michigan ... the kind of state that represents a battleground in a general election. Losing to McCain there really did inflict some wounds on Bush.

Ball Quotes
I thought our team was ready. I would have never anticipated this. We worked hard the last two days and it didn't show. We lost it completely in the first half. East Carolina was better prepared and a better team today. We just didn't defend the ball as well as we needed and we over helped at times and gave open looks.

Again Quotes
I think it was best for all concerned. I had already done my things there and I left, and to do it again wouldn't have made sense for me or for Florida. So I hope people can realize it was time to move on. I feel fortunate South Carolina offered me a chance here to try to do some things that have never been done before. Almost every victory around here is the first time that ever happened.

Dropped Quotes
I went to college at University of South Carolina and dropped out of chemistry, and to fill a class, the only spot they had left was a theater class. It was so annoying, but I took it and then I thought it was the greatest thing; the most socially creative. I dropped out of school immediately and moved to New York to start acting. I was 19.
-
Burst Quotes
I think the University of North Carolina has gotten a rebirth, a great burst of energy. We've won some games and we've had some new coaches come in who exude excellence. The team is starting to feed off their energy. You look at them and say, 'How can your coach be more excited than you are?' It makes you up your ante a little more.
-
Beat Quotes
I think the race is clearly narrowing. If you look at the results in Tennessee and Virginia tonight and look at the results of the week before where I won in South Carolina and I beat Sen. Kerry in Oklahoma, this is becoming very focused, ... He's in front and I'm the underdog. We're going to have a tough contest here in Wisconsin but this is going to go on for weeks to come.

Again Quotes
Our focus to this point has been South Carolina because a lot of natural attention has been paid to the Florida game already. But, the Florida matchup is meaningless if we don¹t play well on Friday. We are happy to be hosting again this weekend and hopefully we can get another great crowd, play well and score some goals.
-
Coaches Quotes
Our coaches have preached that the whole way through the tournament: Just have fun. There's no pressure on us. In earlier games, we could have lost by 30 to Michigan State and North Carolina and everybody wouldn't have been writing about us, and we would have just went home and this would have been done with. But we don't feel any pressure now that we're here. We can just go out and play.
-
Assistant Quotes
Playing at Carolina gave me a foundation for my entire life. It was a great foundation for me. I was with great players and a great coach and assistant coaches. We all developed the belief that basketball was more than just an individual game. But it also prepared me for life, as a father and a husband and a man. How to be selfless in what you do.
-
Against Quotes
Playing against a former coach has nothing to do with it. We do it the same way whether we're playing Elizabeth City, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, South Carolina State. Now it's Norfolk State that's right in front of us. Coaches can't play the game. Coach against coach -- I don't buy into that. You gotta have your team prepared to play and then they play.
-
Decision Quotes
Our mathematics test scores are going to be late in coming, and we won't have that information in time for parents to make a timely decision about whether they want to transfer their children. The state of North Carolina has requested that the federal government switch the sanctions for this year only.
-
Among Quotes
I was very impressed with Billy Napier when he worked on our staff in 2003 and 2004. He will be among the youngest full-time coaches in Division I next year, and I look at that as a strong asset. He was a big reason South Carolina State had a very successful season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. He will also be an asset to us in recruiting.
-
City Quotes
I thought it was a good event. I'm not displeased. I thought that we had a pretty decent crowd. Obviously it wasn't as large as South Carolina State. But hopefully the city of Columbia and the people of South Carolina will see that this is a very viable game, and they'll decide they will come out and support these young people. This is a very good game.

Agents Quotes
I thought Kenny was our best defensive back ... (but) we had 16 free agents and our front office was in a little bit of turmoil. Everyone has to know this: We didn't want to lose Ken Lucas. We wanted to keep Ken Lucas. And in free agency, when he became free, Carolina offered him just a phenomenal financial package. And he was gone.
