85 Quotes by Josh Boone

I have been a part of one of the greatest comebacks in college basketball history when we beat Duke two years ago. This tops that.

He loves to be in the spotlight, the center of attention. And as you can see, the kid makes some fantastic shots.

We traded baskets with them a little bit in the second half. We can't do that on the road and we can't do that down the line in the tournament.

He's a big dude. He's talented. He's skilled. When you have a guy that big who can really play, it's always a tough guy to handle. But we're going to throw a couple of things at him.

Just really being stronger was important for us, and being tough on the inside. A lot of times we were able to get the ball inside in the last game but they would come in, and you've got guys slapping at the ball and everything and we were getting it taken from us.

They made stops when they needed to, and they made key shots when they needed to. So, it was close down the stretch.

I think at this point just about everyone knows when they come down the lane, even if they do beat the first man, there's going to be somebody there to challenge the shot. Whether they block it or just alter the shot.
