Ted Young

We've always wanted to get out and run the floor, and if you get an easy one, great, but be patient and get the best shot available.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done.

Herman Gooden

Mark Fox

We're going to have play better than we did in Moscow. They've struggled with the adjustment of moving up in leagues, but they've been playing very good basketball of late. We're going to have to play well to get a W.

Smoke Laval

We're finally starting to get our offense in sync. We haven't been pitching well, and now we lose a handful of key guys when we really can't afford to. So now we're forced to throw some of the guys who really struggled back into the ring of fire.
