«This is the hardest place to play.»

«When we won here, Salim Stoudamire didn't play. To take him out of the equation is doing a lot. Last year, he played and we didn't win.»

«We're definitely upset about that game. We feel like we let that one slip. We wanted to play them again sooner. But it's finally here. I'm looking forward to it.»

«I'm excited about it. Besides our home crowd, I've been pretty disappointed everywhere we went. I look forward to it being a high-level, high-energy game. That's part of college basketball. That's part of the experience.»

«I'm fine with it. I'm just happy we finished out with a bang.»

«That's special the way that team beat us and broke our record at home. So it was good to come in here and spoil their Senior Night.»

«I penetrated and they sent the bigger guys on the floor after me. Earlier in the season I was able to shoot over smaller guys in there. Walters didn't guard anybody but me.»

«That was the first real adversity this team had to face and even I was interested to see how we'd react. We had bad chemistry [during the losing streak]. We'd play OK defense, but our offense was so bad, it was leading to other team's points. Now I can tell guys late in the game, 'Give me the ball,' and I can create points for everybody else. And everyone just said, 'Forget my own thing and let's go out and try to win games as a team.' Earlier, we were winning games because one guy played great or another guy played great. But now we are winning as a team.»

«People give me a lot of credit for being a team guy, but Bobby brought us a winning attitude. I never won a state championship.»

«Bobby was the first guy working on his game, even before the coaches showed up. Bobby was making me look bad. He was not only pushing himself to get better, he was pushing us to get better.»
