«We've prepared on the court to get better as a team and subtly, without telling the players, did breakdown drills that were point-specific to both (CSU and TCU). We gave each of the kids a DVD of the last game against both teams and had them look at it. I know we'll be ready to play.»

«I have been working very closely with Brandon and his family and it is with our blessing that he has put his name into the draft. Brandon will be able to take advantage and benefit from the rule and find out where he stands in the eyes of NBA coaches and general managers, while still maintaining the option of returning to San Diego State. We will continue to work closely with Brandon and if he is a first round pick, we will advise him to go. We are extremely proud of what Brandon has done for himself, for the University and San Diego State basketball, both on the court and in the classroom.»

That's what really good players do.»

His injury was fairly severe, but the doctors feel good about his progress, which makes me feel good.»

«It's like anything else. One guy starts saying it, then somebody says 'Well maybe they are going to be pretty good,'»

«Last year, (when SDSU was picked to finish fourth), we said 'Hey, we're as good as anybody.' Spin that preseason stuff to your advantage.»

«This creates an initial buzz around campus, and around town. Other than that, now we have to prove we're good.»
