E. B. White

I know the benefits of being up in the press box. You see an awful lot more and it's not as chaotic.

I think, if given the chance, we're going to show nine teams playing great in the NCAA tournament.

I think that any other year he would be playing. But because (there's) so many great forwards in the West, it's difficult to do that. But (Paul) is one of the top five guards in the Western Conference without question.

Dan DeRose

We talked about the fact that they are a pattern offense and they like to shoot the 3 and we just let them set up and they could run their sets. One of our things is to not let teams that are systematic run their offenses. We kind of mixed up our presses. It makes you take time off the clock.

What I hope to see for labor is the people who work in factories own the factories

Robert Torricelli

We told them it was their last final exam, it was just at night.

Brandon Johnson

I think we're a team of destiny. I really do feel that way because every senior on our team has been together since the sixth grade. And we all said in the sixth grade that we will be at the final four. And it just happened that way, and I feel like this is our year.

Geno Auriemma

It has been a ridiculous three weeks in terms of my thought process. During all that time when the Final Four was going on, flying out to California, Hall of Fame, all of that, there was a lot going on personally for me where I'm trying to sort out how long am I going to do this? Where am I going to go from here? What else am I going to do?

Joe Torre

Just win as many games as we can and see where that leaves us when it's over.

Brian Thornton

Josh did a great job tonight, but it's not just tonight. He's done well the last several games and in practice. When Josh is playing well, it gives us a lot of versatility. When Josh is hitting shots and doing a great job on the boards, it gives us a lot more options.

Thomas Jane

I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

I don't know Robert at all. Actually, this will be the first time I meet him. He called me a month ago and said some type of quote appeared. I never read it. He said whatever it was, it was taken out of context.

Dan Ross

If you told me a week before the meet that we were going to be 16th, we wouldn't have even went.

He'll end up here. You're not going to see any other teams step up.
