Steve Alford Wins Quotations

We appreciate the hard work and efforts that Rich and Greg have extended on behalf of this program over the past seven years. With 46 wins in the last two seasons and six straight winning seasons, they have contributed to a lot of the successes we have enjoyed. In my long?term commitment toward the future, I wanted to move Brian to director of basketball operations and felt these moves were necessary for the continued progress of the program.

Since those things broke we are 7-2, and five of those wins have come against top 25 opponents. There's a Big Ten title in there, and I think that tells everyone where our energy and focus has been.

When you get to this point of the season, all wins are difficult. We were fortunate to grind out the win.

This was a big game in a lot of ways. If we can get five wins against Top 25 teams, that's pretty special. You can't take that away, and it bodes well when we look at the postseason.
