People don't come to your games to see your manager. I can understand why some people will feel that this was based on Alan's popularity here. But really, we could not afford to make this decision based on that, because we need to right this ship.

Joe Sakic

Our conference is so tight, and the play is tight, we are watching the scoreboard every night. Tonight is just one game, and we are in first for a day. We just will hope to continue it.

Jamie Dixon

Our conference has prepared us better than any other conference since I've been around the Big East. I'm not surprised how it has played out because of how many good teams there are here.

Bill Fennelly

It would be a phenomenal upset for us to go real deep in this tournament. The conference tournaments were created to make money and give teams hope. The Big 12 can make the money, and we'll have the hope.

Derek Dougan

The way he pitched tonight he's looking really good. He's definitely going to be a factor in this conference season.

Edgar Gonzalez

It would have been exciting to play with him, and he wanted to be here. But San Diego wanted him there.

Suresh Kalmadi

Of the eight new venues, five will be outdoors and three indoors.

Ben Woodside

I've never experienced that much excitement through eight hours of travel. We could not stop smiling.

Bob Thomason

I've always said you might not ever see a mid-major go to the Final Four. When a mid-major wins a game, especially if it's not a good seed, if they play a powerhouse, getting to the Sweet 16 is like going to the Elite Eight. Going to the Elite Eight is like going to the Final Four, so George Mason has already won the national championship. If they win the next two games, they'll have won the world championship. They'll have to give them a gold medal.

Matt Richardson

I've been around these girls eight years now and I told them I was just as proud of them as I would have been my own children. And, I told them it's been quite a wild ride they've taken us on.

David Smith

I used to tell people that eight o'clock was eight o'clock, no matter where you were in South Carolina, and that's what I want to instill in these players. The time to play is big time whether you're playing in front 40 people or 4,000 people.

Paul Byrd

I wanted to give our team at least seven, eight innings,

Joe Crede

During the fifth inning, that was not a playable surface.

Paul Byrd

See, I needed that. I don't know if you noticed, but I didn't get my first strikeout until the fourth or fifth inning. I need guys to make plays for me out there.

Bill Wright

Especially under the lights. Jared pitched very well over four innings. That fifth is always tough to get through.

Bismarck was really tough, it's the first we've seen of them this season. We showed our inexperience, especially in the fourth and fifth runners. Overall, I was satisfied with how the team performed, but when we learn to do what we can do, we'll run faster.

Everett Muhlhausen

I wanted him to come home and talk. I was all by myself. With everything that was going on, the fight went out of you. You throw up your hands. How much more can one person take?

Charles Schumer

I've said to the people at the White House that you say you need all the resources to fight the war overseas, but to fight the war on terror at home with no money is like saying let's fight the war in Iraq with no new money, ... It makes no sense whatsoever.

Fred Lohmann

It would be more of an uphill fight to justify downloading 'The Sopranos' if you're not an HBO subscriber.

Jason Michaels

It would be different if we were talking about a war game or something with realistic ties. You're never going to fight a zombie in real life - or at least you're hoping not to.

Sam Davis

Once we got a lead, we said make them come out and guard you. Once they opened up the floor, our perimeter play is pretty good and our kids are smart. We did a great job of running our offense in the fourth quarter.

David Jones

Then all of a sudden, in the fourth quarter the other team's back in it.

Pete Carroll

I've never understood how two-thirds of the thing can vote for you one way and one third can knock you into fourth place. It looks like it should be third, third, third, but that's my simple math.

Ozzie Guillen

I've only been thrown out four times in my career, not my managing career. If I get tossed from the game, I think I let the team down. If a manager is not there in a playoff game I think you lose the respect of your team. I need my players and my players need me.

Dan Spellman

The second and fourth quarter, we didn't shoot all that well. Defensively, we did a real nice job.

Chris Raso

I've been watching these girls since they were in fourth grade. I knew what stride they could play at. I thought four years ago that we could possibly get to this level.

As I've told the team, ultimately you'll be judged by what happens and where you are at the end of the season. I understand why we are the underdogs, and there's really only one way to handle that. That's not by talking, it's by playing the game and seeing what happens.

Greg Allen

That ought to tell you something about him. In that game, he took it upon himself.

Dave Ramsey

We learned early on that if we help enough people, the money will come.

Dave Bautista

If you're pursuing something that you love and you're learning something new, every day, that's the key to youth [staying young].
