I had a goal this year, to make the NCAA (Championship). I was training for that aspect; that was my motivation.

We'll run through a lot of things that we're going to do at nationals and find out if there are any glitches in the system. That way we can fine-tune. We'll have a month before the national championship and we can get everything in place before we actually run the NCAA Championship.
Tanya Chaplin
This is fun; it's March and we're still here playing. Everyone is tired and exhausted but we don't care. We're playing in the NCAA Tournament where anything can happen.
Petra Kulhankova
We may be the only conference ? I'm sure we are the only conference ? in the country where the majority of institutions are being penalized by the NCAA.
Peter Nicholson
We have NCAA tournament ability. It's disappointing, but we still get to keep playing. We're still going to go out and compete and play the game we love.
Danielle Kamm
No question that playing high-level competition on a neutral floor does help you at the NCAA tournament.
Mike Hogan
I still think we're the best team in NCAA fencing. We're going to stay around and keep fighting.
Vladimir Nazlymov
This year we really want to go farther in the (NCAA) tournament, win regions and then hopefully place in the top 10.
Arlo Elkins
I think the tournament has looked pretty impressive to the NCAA in that regard.
Mike Schepp
We've got some good meets coming up. Hopefully, I can do well. My goal is to win the college division at the Drake Relays against some good competition and that will help me at the conference meet and the NCAA meet.
Kevin Becker
It wasn't too long ago we were 14-8 and had the whole postseason ahead of us. Now we're fighting just to stay in touch for the NIT, let alone an NCAA bid.
Kevin Brophy
Head-to-head competition is one of the things that (NCAA Selection Committee members) look at very closely.
Joni Comstock
It's been our motto all year to make it to the NCAA Tournament. That's what we're working on every day.
Amanda Brown
I feel confident we're going to make it into the [NCAA] tournament. I see they're talking about teams that have big wins against two teams.
Jamar Nutter
It all comes down to how well you shoot that one day, but both Celeste and Tanya have the ability to reach the NCAA Championships individually.
Karen Monez
Nobody talks about the NCAA Tournament, not the players or coaches. Only you guys.
Richard Midgley
It's not going to help us to win one or two games. We're going down there to win it all and see ourselves in the NCAA. We might surprise somebody. Our season is not done.
Jiri Hubalek
The really good thing is, if you can't make the call, you can send the message right away to ask them to call you, ... If they call me, it's OK. Same with their coach. And with the NCAA allowing that medium, it's definitely a plus.
Bruce Chambers
At the beginning of the season, our goal was to make the NCAA.
Anthony Tolliver
For coaches to knowingly violate NCAA regulations is not tolerable at the University. We will not have it.
Robert Thomas
I'm definitely hungry to get back [to the NCAA tournament]. That's a motivating factor.
Chad Timberlake
We are going to have to be creative in showing the NCAA how badly we would like to have this tournament here. We also have to be able to demonstrate that we can deliver on what we show them.
Dave Blank
This is my last year, and I realize what that means. I can't let down. If I don't get (an NCAA trip) now, I never will.
Anthony Winchester
It was disappointing that we didn't make the NCAA Tournament. But we still can win something.
Danielle Kamm
I know what my purpose is being here. Just help the team win and get back to the Final Four, try to win an NCAA championship.
Matt Trannon
We want to win the ACC and the NCAA [Tournaments]. If we don't do that then our season was a flop.
Ian Holder
I honestly haven't heard of it happening [an NCAA player boxing professionally] but I can't say it hasn't. It's probably more common for people to play minor league baseball.
Kent Barrett
We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.
Rick Comley
On good teams, seniors need to lead. Maybe lead us all the way to the NCAA Final Four. We've been there before. We know how hard it is. We know how long that road is.
Denham Brown
The NCAA tournament, the championship.
Freddy Petkus
The NCAA unfortunately has put us in a box where we now have to defend our honor, as it were, ... They've called us 'hostile and abusive,' and we know, because we live here, that there's no such thing here. We'll have to prove it, I guess.
Charles Kupchella
And on top of all of that he might be the nicest guy I've ever met. He should be the guy the NCAA puts on all its posters.
Brad Vanneman
It's a combination of the fact that we won our first NCAA game in years, the fact that I knew I didn't have to drive back home tomorrow and the fact we did make such a long drive to get here, that it was awesome to see.
Jason Thomas
Our goal is to get into the N.C.A.A. tournament, and we've never lost sight of that.
Grant Billmeier
That shows why the NCAA tournament is the Pac-10 Tournament. We all beat up on each other.
Kristina Thorson
The decision before the committee was whether the conduct in the case violated NCAA bylaws. And to that, the committee obviously has a great deal to say.
Josephine Potuto
Illinois, Duke, that's a big difference. When you start getting down into the lower levels of Division I, there are a heck of a lot of (NCAA) Division II teams and NAIA teams that are absolutely as good. Not just this year. For a long time.
Tony Morocco
That's why this is so important. We want to play in the NCAA Tournament. We have to win every single game.
Shawn Taggart
I was fortunate to coach 38 NCAA All-Americans and he was the hardest-working athlete I ever worked with, not the most talented, but the hardest working.
Billy Wright
Obviously we're excited about the chance to participate in the NCAA tournament. More so, we're lucky to be hosting an NCAA game at home and to have that advantage.
Paul Booth
Sullivan was a top-eight NCAA sprinter. He's going to give our guys all they can handle.
Bill Dorenkott
I think we're just shoving it in people's faces. We're here to win. We're here to go to the (NCAA) tournament.
Kaylee Brown
It's close enough that a lot of them can get to it. It's exciting, (but) personally I can't treat it any differently. It's just another NCAA tournament and we've got to stay focused on the game.
Carrie Mason
It almost feels like an out-of-body experience. It's 40 years later, we didn't win the NCAA title, but the fans still care. Where else could that happen but Kentucky?
Thad Jaracz
We're clearly delighted to be in the NCAA tournament. We've played Rutgers before and we know their history and tradition, but we have our own history and tradition.
Chris Wielgus
It's important now that this loophole be looked at nationally, ... In 2000, when the N.C.A.A. decided to move away from some critical analysis, it opened the door and people moved ahead with it.
Mike Slive
Our big goal is the NCAA championship, and if we're playing our best hockey at the end of the year, we can definitely do that. Everybody on our team knows that we can. We know we can be the best team in the nation if we play like it.
Jeff Likens
It's a dream come true. Coming from Wisconsin, playing for the Badgers, especially in the NCAA championship, there's nothing better than that.
Josh Engel
She is extremely competitive. Whether it be in practice, an exhibition game, or a NCAA tournament game, she always brings the same everyday.
Mark Francis
Who is going to determine how testing is done? There are multiple issues on the NCAA level. I was working at the college level in the mid '80s and back then it was a war zone.
Chip Salvestrini
When it comes to money, extreme measures are needed. That's where the lawsuit came in. There are just things that (the NCAA) won't change.
Ryan Roques
I think she has one of the purest jump shots in the NCAA right now.
Noelle Quinn
I see a few weaknesses we have to improve before the NCAA Championships. We need to focus on our pressure training. We know what we have to do.
Valerie Boothe
I thought that [Pittsburgh] was a game we gave away. We beat ourselves. Hopefully it's not one of those games that keeps us out of the NCAA Tournament. It was a game we should have won.
Jose Fernandez
These next few games are really important. They are the most important games of our year. They can make or break our NCAA chances. There is a lot of pressure on us.
Marcus Williams
We know we've got to win a couple more to have a chance to make the NCAA tournament.
Ronald Steele
At conference, he got food poisoning and basically ended up in the hospital for a couple days. He got really sick and it's too bad. He would have been in the NCAA indoor championships had that not happened.
Amy Christofferson
It feels really good right now. To be honest, we're not focusing on the NCAA Tournament right now. The coaches haven't even talked about it. We're just taking it game by game.
Richard Midgley
The issue was the coach had entered into a clear violation of NCAA bylaws, it was a considered to be a blatant violation, and an egregious violation, and one that had no remedy.
Karen Holbrook
One of the important considerations is for the women's tournament not to conflict with the NIT, and the NIT not to conflict with the women's tournament, and I think we can do that. The NCAA has been super-cooperative in allowing this to happen.
Jim Jarrett
The ANSWER Coalition, the NCAA is not only disappointed with the ruling, ... but we condemn the city for presenting to the court a completely false brief and making in court false representations, which on the face contradict themselves.
Brian Becker
That was the final dagger when it was 60-56 and we were not able to convert a couple times. They are a mature team that got a second life in the NCAA to make some things happen. We had to play at the top of our game to win this.
David Schultz
He's a legitimate (NCAA) Division I point guard. Even from what I saw in the junior colleges, there's no better point guard out there that we could have got.
Jackson Wheeler
We noticed it, obviously. It opens up an NCAA berth for another league team.
Johnny Wolf
We have become the quarterback conference all through the NCAA.
Murray Smith
I see him making at least provisional qualifying marks for the NCAA champions.
James Lileks
My mom didn't even pick us to win one game in her NCAA Tournament office pool.
Carter Jordan
I think he's a great choice, and we all congratulate him. I think he's got a great future in the game. You can call him a rookie, but he played NCAA Division I hockey at a high level, and that matters.
Geno Parrish
They're going to be a tough out in the NCAA Tournament. They're built for the long haul.
Bill Fennelly
Unfortunately it's not what you do in the conference tournament. It's what you do in the NCAA tournament.
John Duignan
Our clients compete with the institutions themselves and the NCAA to promote Division 1 basketball, and they should be able to compete freely and fairly. It's clear this came about because of money, it's a commercial restriction, and everything else is a sham.
Bill Markovits
With our pre-draft camp in town and with our draft taking place less than 24 hours after an NCAA national champion is crowned, Boston will be the Mecca of women's basketball during the first week of April.
Donna Orender
We want to go to the (NCAA) Tournament and knew we had to get on a roll. We know we're never out of it. I know how Coach Greenberg felt (when he got the technical). He felt helpless. We've felt that way before, too.
Shawan Robinson
It's just great being in the NCAA Tournament. My first three years, we didn't get here. Having it on our home court and having our fans behind us make it all the more special. Everything's here. We're comfortable. It's our place.
Chris Kraus
Brian Walsh is a very, very good player. He has a chance to be (an NCAA) Division I player. He has terrific skills.
Jeff Ackermann
They need everything in the front here torn down today. Everything in the back, after the NCAA, will come down next Monday.
Rick Freeman
Our whole team's goal is the NCAA Title, the national title. So we're all working every day to earn that national title.
Corey Hartung
It has added a little extra fire. We felt last year we should have been in the NCAA, but we didn't perform when we had to.
Brendan Winters
We're always busy St. Patrick's Day. But when it falls on a Friday, the NCAA tournaments have started and the place is packed.
Bob Groetken
Either the NCAA changes its rules or our schools would not be allowed to be part of the NCAA.
Kevin Murray
If there is a significant pattern that develops, the NCAA has the right to look at it as a major issue. But that's not what they've done here. It's just one of those things you just always have to have your antennas up.
Pete Boone
It's something I know I'm proud of, to finally get to the NCAA tournament. That's something we came here to do, and it will be nice to hang that banner up there.
Paul Miller
We're disappointed (we couldn't end Stanford's streak), but we're hoping we can finish ahead of them in NCAA. We're looking forward to beating them this year.
Miguel Molina
This is history. Every time you mention the NCAA tournament from now on, you have to mention our run. But we're not finished yet.
Lamar Butler
My expectation will be -- has been every year -- it will always be to get into the NCAA tournament, whatever that means. I will be disappointed if that does not happen this year.
Cheryl Burnett
The NCAA is an exceptional meet. We're excited to be competing in the national championships and look forward to gaining some success while we're there.
Darryl Anderson
One of our goals is to get to the NCAA Tournament, but we're excited to be here. It's a great opportunity for us and we've worked really hard to get our seeding, and we'll try to make the most of it.
Jimmy Balderson
We won't play like we need to win (to make the NCAA tourney). We'll try to play with heart. We'll leave everything out on the court.
Jenny Demuth
I would have almost bet that Storck would be the one who would make the big play. She's been there before. I remember the shot she hit in the NCAA championship.
Stan Swank
Oh, I loved playing doubles with Linda. (The NCAA Championships) was a great experience, and to experience it with one of your best friends was even better.
Sarah Batty
In order to make the NCAA tournament, we have to beat Boston College. From there if we beat North Carolina, I think we will easily get in.
Brenna Mcguire
We provide support at the highest level I've ever been associated with. The NCAA is reminding everyone that these standards aren't going away.
Jeff Hathaway
We will need to submit another report to the NCAA and keep them informed on what we're doing so they can advise us.
Bubba Cunningham
But they never mentioned it. Really, the bottom line is in my four years as an NCAA member, the lack of communication is mind-boggling.
Andy Carter
No one with a 17-11 record should have gotten into the NCAA. And anyone with a .500 record in conference should not have gotten in.
Carlos Valdez
There are about 80 students from Hawaii on campus. I think a lot of Hawaii's athletes. I think some NCAA schools ignore them. We don't ignore them.
Carl Murphree
Truthfully, in the back of your mind, you know the NCAA tournament is coming up. I haven't been there yet, so I'd love to experience that. But right now, 150 percent of the focus is on the next game.
Cameo Hicks
We still have to wait for a final decision from the NCAA. I thought it would come probably 10 days ago, but obviously they're not in a hurry because it doesn't mean as much to them.
Buddy Gouldsmith
It's certainly disappointing because that was our main goal coming into this season, to go to the NCAA Tournament. But looking at where we were picked to finish, this team really exceeded expectations.
Denise Taylor
One thing about Steve is that he has goals. I expect to see him in the NCAA [tournament].
Mike Whalen
Our main goals this year are to return to the NCAA Championship and successfully defend our University Athletic Association Championship title.
Rich Johnson
I don't think they'd have enough jail space to put every NCAA person in.
Pete Weber
When the tour came around it was a chance to take money or stay with the NCAA, but it didn't compare with staying in college.
Courtney Kupets
The NCAA says you can play in two all-star games.
Jeff Harrelson
I really hope not. Now it's going to have more of a Final Four atmosphere. Maybe we can gear it toward that. Make it to the Final Four like the NCAA does and still have a lot of prestige and honor behind it.
Kathy Lanter
It's awesome. I haven't been to the tournament. For all the girls on the team who haven't been to the tournament it's just, 'wow, you're part of March Madness.' You strive to get to the NCAA Tournament.
Breanne Watson
Yeah, it was pretty exceptional. Since the NCAA era, to my knowledge, there's nothing that approaches that.
Todd Wilkinson
For him to get third and set a school record and qualify for the NCAA meet, that's a great job.
Mike Holloway
I'm sure South Carolina is going to come out playing hard tomorrow. They have a chance to get an NCAA tournament bid and win an SEC championship. I don't know how much fatigue will be a factor.
Lee Humphrey
I don't know what I'll do as far as running after college, although if an opportunity to compete appears, I would consider it. Right now, I just want us to win the ACC, be in the NCAA and do well at nationals.
Ashlee Kidd
I'd like to play (NCAA) Division I golf somewhere. I'd like to do well there and make the NCAA championships. Maybe someday I can go pro.
Carly Werwie
That's a saver right there. It helps keep our (NCAA) hopes alive.
Marty Bell
We would love it to be a NCAA sport. We really have to look closely whether we can actually have scholarships given our current makeup.
Doug Beard
Almost all the projections have UAB in now and if UAB isn't invited after what they did against Memphis, then they ought to shut the NCAA tournament down.
Paul Finebaum
I looked at it as a statement. They were ranked pretty high and they beat Maryland. I look at it like an NCAA tournament win.
Cedric Simmons
The NCAA has worked with their corporate partners and champions to stage some incredible activities for the fans from what's going to go on the Circle.
Bob Schultz
It was an awesome game. It's no question we lost to a team that deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament.
Amanda Butler
We need to create a niche different from the NCAA. The NAIA is about students first, about their education.
Jimmy Carr
Because the girls don't make as many mistakes at zones, if you make more than one little error, it can cost you from making the NCAA Championship.
Gretchen Plamondon
It felt good to play that way. It may be the last two games I play here (at the Cooper Center) if we don't host again in the NCAA tournament.
Charise Bain
I'm sure we'll hear from the NCAA at some point.
Kathy Jordan
When he was recruiting me, he became a friend before I committed (to Denver). And he never pressured me. I decided (on Denver) before I even made my (official NCAA) visit.
Paul Stastny
We believe it is ? a good move to further differentiate and improve NCAA women's basketball. We can't predict for sure how it's going to impact the coverage. We're hoping it's going to be a positive thing.
Joni Comstock
We don't get to face any more [NCAA Central Region] teams so we can't improve our head-to-head ranking.
Debby King
We've really got to defend our home turf against those teams. We've got the NCAA record, and we've got to protect it.
Bev Kearney
The NCAA sits there and says, 'Hey, you can't make any money. And then it's, 'Oh, by the way, good luck trying to sue us because we'll drag you down on the legal expenses.' That's how much money they've got. At that point, Jeremy got himself into a hole.
Andy Carroll
It was a great effort. Our best showing in the (NCAA) Tournament so far.
Ryan Campbell
I have watched less than 40 minutes of the entire NCAA Tournament. We're in an evaluation period, so, no, I won't get to see much of it all.
Barclay Radebaugh
The NBA and NCAA has a window of opportunity for these kids to test the waters, so he figures why not?
Byron Gibson
Is that a bad omen? I have to ask: Can we add those two games to our win column? Hey, I'm 2-0 in the NCAA tournament.
Bob Mckillop
I was afraid that the system, if we didn't win, we might not get in [to the NCAA Tournament]. They didn't let their school down or their community down, and sometimes the system will fail you - but this time it didn't.
Tom Jessee
Arizona and North Carolina are if not the two best programs then at least in the top five in NCAA history. It's going to be a game of history with coach Olson and Roy Williams.
Ivan Radenovic
The rule is different in the NFL. And is drastically different this year (in the NCAA). Last year it was the same (as the NFL). This year, the way that rule is interpreted in the game Saturday at Vanderbilt - the rule is drastically different.
George Deleone
I know I'm up for the challenge because that (NCAA) game was one I'll never forget. I saw how our guys were acting in the locker room after losing the last game of the season. I don't want to feel like that. I hate that feeling. I know the game is going to be very intense.
Kammron Taylor
It still feels like it's the NCAA Tournament. It's a game we've got to get by first to get to a powerhouse. The atmosphere is good.
Marques Alston
I'm expecting Sean to win an NCAA title. I'm going to put pressure on him.
John Frazier
If you win the regular season championship, it gives you an inside track to a NCAA bid.
Paul Mainieri
Our mission is to be ready 150 percent for the NCAA.
Jan Chovanec
Walking into the building, getting the NCAA pins, going through security, it brought back memories from a couple years ago. It's an amazing feeling.
Brandon Cole
The bottom line is that if you're still competing by the end of the season, and you can make it into the NCAA team final, you have a chance. And I think we do.
Barry Weiner
Why would you not expect that it was going to be a buzzer-beater to start this tournament? If this isn't the NCAA before the NCAA, I've never seen it. You're going to have games like this almost all the way down the line.
George Blaney
We can't get caught up in the emotion of it -- first and foremost we have to win. We have to take this momentum that we have going right now into the WAC tournament and get to the NCAA.
Matthew Gipson
It's a big, long drawn out process to starting a conference. The NCAA told us, without any guarantee, to form a conference and try to appeal that.
Jack Maughan
We're off to our second best start in history at 10-1. Our best start ever was 19-0 in 1998-1999. We're two points away from being 11-0. Our only loss is to NCAA Division II North Georgia.
Bryan Blair
Our inexperience showed. That is something we have to work on if we want to be an NCAA team or a competitor in the Big East.
Ezria Parsons
It wasn't our best season. We especially didn't perform our best at the NCAA Championships.
Eddie Reese
It helps to have the world's most beautiful beaches and a community that's willing to support the festivities. We've demonstrated an excitement and a desire to exceed whatever the NCAA expects.
