In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.

When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.

It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.

I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.

There's no substitute for guts.

A few minutes ago, I had a hard time getting through the lobby because of all the people. After today, that won't be happening.

Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.
