Basket Quotations | Page 4

We've been able to celebrate Big East championships and NCAA Tournament appearances while playing in the sold out Petersen Events Center. That success on the court has been mirrored by tremendous academic achievement. Pitt basketball has a very bright future and we are working to build on our recent success.

We started three guys who haven't played a minute of Division I basketball in this type of environment, and I thought they showed a lot of poise right from the beginning. I thought we competed on every possession right to the end of the game, which was what we had hoped we would do.

We started playing basketball when we were in second grade. We're friends, except when we're on the field. Mark is a great athlete and quarterback. I learn from watching him.

We struggled knocking down some shots and putting the ball in the basket at times. We limited them to a low number of points, but we couldn't convert ourselves.

We are a good team when we go to the basket but we missed a couple of easy ones.

We are a good basketball team. Don't let anyone fool you, we can be as good as we want to be. Tonight we ran up against another good basketball team.

We are lucky to have him as a part of our staff and this promotion is a well-deserved acknowledgment of the part that he has played in the phenomenal success of our basketball program.

We are looking forward to getting basketball started. It should be a fun time now that we have our brand new gym.

We're real excited about that. We try to go to as many basketball games as we can. We usually sit in the upper arena. The opportunity to see the players from the lower arena is really exciting, especially for my husband.

We knew what they were going to do in the last set, so we switched and put Ryan Campbell on him so he couldn't get to the hole. Carlson made his move and spun back to find Campbell there. We had him locked up 15 feet from the basket and he could do nothing but kick the ball out for a forced three-pointer.
