“If you've got a lot of money, we need your money, make no mistake about it. If you don’t, we need you at the Scarlet Walk, when those kids who battled their rear ends off, we need you there. We need you in that stadium. Get the stadium packed, because those kids are laying it on the line.”

“There are going to be some guys laying it on the line. You lose to a team that’s 0-5, that’s rock bottom.”

“It may not have been a buzzer-beater. We didn’t have that kind of finish in any of the five games, but man, it was good offensive basketball, and it was laying it on the line defensively.”
