Ask Quotes
It?s not Rashad?s fault, trust me. Whatever we ask our kids to do, it?s our responsibility. We make the choice of who plays who. ... I?m incredibly, incredibly disappointed in the loss, incredibly disappointed in myself. I would have changed a couple of things probably the last two, three minutes of the game and into overtime.

Beginning Quotes
It's always good to be No. 1 in anything but it's not great at this time of year. I want it at the beginning of April, but I'll take it now. Being No. 1 isn't a goal of ours like the Big East championship or the national championship, but we feel we're one of the better programs in the country for the last 15 years and being No. 1 is another notch for us as a total program.

Answer Quotes
It was like that scene in 'Good Will Hunting' when Ben Affleck tells Matt Damon that one day he wants to ring the bell and not have anyone answer it, ... My coach told me my friends just wanted me to stay there and that if I succeeded it would make their failures worse. He asked me if I really wanted to play in the Eastern League for $30 a game for the rest of my life.

Believe Quotes
I like the way they attack. I like (Will Brown) saying he expects to win. If he said anything else, I'd be disappointed. Someone said, isn't that bulletin board stuff? No, it's not. It's what a man does or a woman does when they're passionate about something. They truly believe they can do it. I like people who want to win. Obviously, they're coming off a great streak. We're not coming off exactly a disaster. We're 27-3.

Bigger Quotes
I remember how small it was, ... It was bigger than our locker room, but maybe only twice the size. It wasn't massive by any stretch of the imagination, but you have to understand that if you see the Wilt Chamberlain jersey, if you see Adolph Rupp, if you see the Texas Western team - the picture of them - that was all kind of awe-inspiring.

Bank Quotes
I have to give a special star to Denham. With Rudy (Gay) out the last three days (groin), Denham has been our special player. I told him he's put money in the bank - all the work ethic, all the things he's doing, he's got some chits with me now. Just all over the place, running as hard as I've ever seen him, making shots that I didn't see him make before, handling better, passing better - I'm exceptionally happy with him.
