Jim Calhoun Deserved Quotations

Elvin Hayes was such an incredible scorer that it was hard for me to believe, ... I had seen Bob Pettit do it to some degree, he was 6-foot-9, but Elvin Hayes took it to a different level. He was a scoring machine who went outside at 6-foot-9 and that was so foreign to what we knew. He never really got the credit he deserved for what he accomplished.

I can only imagine the feeling they must have in that locker room, on that campus. They couldn't have imagined this, but they've done it. I applaud them. They deserved to win.

In my opinion and certainly by the big scoreboard, the way the game was played they were the team that deserved to win.
