It was a crazy game, that's why they call it Bedlam. We missed a lot of free throws and had opportunities. Both teams deserved to win this game. We had adversity at every turn and played to win.
More Quotes from Kelvin Sampson:
I want a staff that could relate to young people, understand our values that our program will have and that will not only serve as a source of motivation but also guide young men to become better players, better students and better people. These two guys will be tremendous representatives of our program and our university.Kelvin Sampson
Guys like me don't get jobs like this. I was a guy that coached NAIA basketball and was a grad assistant at Michigan State under Jud Heathcote and then coached at Washington State before Oklahoma and now Indiana. I've had kind of a nondescript college career.

I'm going to be really patient, and I want to help them. But I want them to make a decision that is best for them. And I just want to facilitate it. It's not a hard sell. It's these kids' lives. And that's more important than anything else we're dealing with. The most important entity here is these kids and their decision, and I'm dealing with it on both sides.

He can be as good as he wants to be. Had he been a little better last year in Chicago, he wouldn't even be in college. There's a reason why he was in Chicago. He's a pro. Whatever team he's on, he automatically is going to lift that team to a different level. He's a unique talent with his length. Guys that athletic, guys that long usually aren't that good of 3-point shooters. But there's no area of the game that he's not good at.

He was in a group that could have made it or not made it. But I said there's no way we're going out of this country playing on a team without P.J. Tucker. That's one of the things the USA teams have missed in the past. We've taken cookie-cutter kids instead of kids with big hearts who know how to win.
