40 Quotes by Barry Hinson

We are probably a mid-major conference in most of our other sports, but in men's basketball we are obviously a high-major conference. It's the sixth best conference in the country, and there should be talk of five teams going into the NCAA Tournament. Whether we get that or not, we deserve the attention.

What we did this time, how we came back, says a lot for this team and for our crowd. Our fans were phenomenal.

Right now, four teams, people should be saying it's a lock. The debate is whether it should be five teams.

I'd like to say I thought their defense was good, but it's not what caused us to miss shots in the second half.

I think the conference race is already done. I think Wichita State is going to win the race. I think what everybody else is trying to do is to get the highest seed they can get for the tournament, or finish as the runner-up.

I think that would be big for him going into next year.

Just because they're the sixth seed, that doesn't mean anything. Not this year in our league. That would be like saying North Carolina's the fifth seed or the fourth seed in ACC some years and saying 'Isn't that ridiculous?' No. It's just because the league's so good.

Just because they're a No. 6 seed, that doesn't mean anything. Not this year in our league.

Our league is deserving of this whether you want to call it a freak or a phenomenon. The league is good. It's a tough league.
