Bobby Gonzalez Quotations

Any time we're scoring in the 60s, that's usually not good for us. Old Dominion is a terrific team and we knew it would be hard to beat them in their own building.

I don't know what it was with Jason. I didn't really recognize him today.

I came up through the ranks. I've paid my dues and I feel like I belong here and I'm ready. It took me 25 years to get here, and you can believe I'm not going to take it lightly.

It was fitting that Jason Wingate was on the line there at the end. That kid has been Mr. Clutch. For him to take us home at the end was fitting.

I expected Marist's best shot and I think we got it.

I was on him because I didn't think he played a real good game, but I've got to put him in down the stretch because he's Mr. Clutch.

My father was a big boxing fan, and he used to say the best fighters are the ones who come through the ranks and pay their dues. I'm here today because I came up through the ranks. My dream was always to be a head coach in the Big East. That's all I ever aspired to do.

I was scared to death. C.J. had a double-double against them the first game, but I knew we weren't the same team and they hadn't lost on he road in the conference. It was the ultimate underdog situation.

It took 25 years to get here. You can believe I'm not going to take it lightly.

When you're a 12 seed, you're usually playing against a team (in the first round) that's just outside of the top 25. That makes a big difference. A lot of the teams out of the top 25 are so similar, and in the tournament, anything can happen.
