Deb Patterson Great Quotations

It's a great statement of how quality basketball is supported here in the Manhattan community. Our fans were tremendous. I just can't say enough about how rare it is to have a packed house for women's basketball.

When it's over, she will have put numbers on the board that will validate her greatness. I think that's unusual to be able to say about a freshman point guard competing in the level of competition that we do.
