I think it's a great chance (everyone will stay) because none of the people who have an opportunity to leave are really hurting financially. That helps us out a lot. Everybody might not love school, but we love the basketball part about it. Money isn't the issue for the people who have the chance to go. (Chris Richard) >> More Chris Richard Quotations...
We've talked as a staff how important it is to do this one well. And I think it's real important for Grand Forks to show it supports high school basketball. Hopefully the people in the community will come out and support the tournament. Devils Lake losing in the boys regional didn't help our attendance. They were by far the best-followed team in the East Region tournament. (Todd Olson) >> More Todd Olson Quotations...
They will be running, and our point guard (freshman Aaron Jackson) will have to be up for the challenge. We have to play error-free basketball. (Danny Nee) >> More Danny Nee Quotations...
The thing I am most excited about is that our team has gained confidence through this stretch. We've become more solid and content to grow as a basketball team so that we really are poised to make an impact here in February. It could have gone the other way. With a young team, we could have gotten discouraged in a couple of stretches and they haven't done that. They've stayed strong and I'm excited about what that means for this team.

They're a good team, but it means more because we won the game. It didn't really matter what team came in here tonight, (we) just had to win the game. We had to get off the (streak). Regardless of who it was, we just had to win the basketball game. (Allen Iverson) >> More Allen Iverson Quotations...
We substituted and we didn't get much out of that. We talked before the game about how guys are going to have to come in and really compete and I didn't think anybody we brought into the basketball game, until the end of the game, helped us. (Dan Dakich) >> More Dan Dakich Quotations...
We have to focus on getting better down the stretch and playing better basketball. There's no margin for error with this team. When we slip up a little bit, obviously a team like Kentucky is able to expose that. (Bruce Pearl) >> More Bruce Pearl Quotations...
I probably shouldn't have said it on the radio, but there ain't another team in this league that could fall down by 15 points and still come right back at you. I was never nervous when we got down 15, 18 points. Not with this group. Honestly, if this group works as hard in life as they do on the basketball court, they're going to succeed. There's no quit in them. (Jeff Davis) >> More Jeff Davis Quotations...
A lot of people buy floor seats for the basketball season and pay 2,000 each without batting an eye, ... People spend money to get a great seat at Yankee Stadium, the World Series, or the opera. People who spend that kind of money at restaurants instead are restaurant enthusiasts, and they are willing to pay whatever to get whatever they want.

I think the first quarter and the last minute of the second half decided the basketball game. Then we give up a 10-point lead. If we would've went into the locker room up 12 instead of six, I think that changes the whole complexion of the basketball game. (Don Allen) >> More Don Allen Quotations...
