    Tony Bennett, UVA Head Coach - “I always ask our guys in the offseason: If you played [last year's version of] yourself one-on-one, could you dominate yourself now? If you can't say yes, then you have not done your job improving.“

    After #TexasTech defeated #WVU 62-59 on Wednesday, the #RedRaiders celebrated by dancing in the locker room & the video was released. WVU head coach Bob Huggins said it was "classless" and "bad for our game". Chris Beard addressed those comments today: #WreckEm @fox34

    “The greatest respect to a great player is to coach him hard!” Doug Collins on Michael Jordan. There are no truer words #LastDance

    So practice was sloppy today but what happened before we started was magical. Our players all pitched in and bought our student assistant 2K20 for his PS4. Chase works very hard for our program and it was great to see him be appreciated by our guys. #Changingculture #TeamNSU

    "Grinding" is working a 12 hour shift in a coal mine! I get to watch hoops all July not "grind!" Hate it when used in our profession!

    Thank you so much! This is not about me. There are so many assistants, players and my own family that have sacrificed to make this happen! I am humbled and grateful for that sacrifice.

    I am thankful today for my wife! She not only takes care of our fam but she pours a ton into our players and program! She keeps our fuel station stocked so our players have snacks and she made a Thanksgiving meal today with a little bit of home for everyone. I love you Ericka!

    Jared Butler (@J_Hooper11) was named Final Four MVP after leading @BaylorMBB to their first national title. “I’m not trying to preach a prosperity gospel but our Lord and Savior, I say it all the time: he gets us through everything. Jesus Christ, man, he’s the truth.”
