Brian Westbrook is truly deserving of this prestigious honor. The statistics he put up during his Villanova career are simply amazing. It is an honor for me to say that I coached not only a great player, but a great person in Brian Westbrook. He is truly a once in a lifetime player.

Andy Talley

We've just learned what to do since our freshman year and that's not to get excited and to execute when we need to. We just played Villanova basketball better than Louisville played Louisville basketball.

Jason Fraser

Maybe we don't look like we're tough guys, but the bottom line is we get the job done. I know, Villanova was tough. They were city kids. But we're going to play our game no matter who the other team has.

Al Horford

The goal was to get our feet on the floor at Villanova. That makes the district tournament a failure for us. I don't mean to be harsh, but if you have the kind of talent we have, you go pursue what you're capable of.

Jim Donofrio

I don't care. I've been saying that the whole time. We're blessed to be playing in this tournament regardless. I'd love to [get a chance to] play [Villanova], because I think we can show our toughness. I look forward to the challenge. We worked hard to get here.

Marques Alston

From point guard to their center, they are right up there (with Duke and Villanova), if not better. (Memphis) is so deep and athletic, that it?s so tough to keep taking those punches.

Abe Badmus

We didn't get off the court until 10:30 p.m., and still had to drive to Philadelphia to play 'Nova. We got in at 2 a.m. and still played our 9 a.m. match (against Villanova).

Brett Binkley

I thought we came out with good levels of intensity and aggressiveness. For a first game, we played pretty well, but we have a lot of areas to improve. We'll take this one and move on to next week against a very good Villanova team.

Mike Pressler

We can't use it as an excuse. I think if we can go to Villanova and Pitt and play well and win, we'll have a much better picture of who we are.

Gerry Mcnamara

I was a year old when he won the title at Villanova. But I had heard about him. I researched him on the Internet, and thought it would be cool to play for him.

Seth Davis

That's the thing about the Big East. We got a big win at Louisville. Initially, you think that Rutgers and St. John's would be easier, but really, the Big East is so tough. Rutgers took Villanova to overtime, and they have a really good chance of making it to the NCAA tournament.

Levon Kendall

When they were cutting down the nets Sunday [after beating Villanova], it was too late to book.

Jason West

I'm glad that Father Donohue will be our new president. In my time here at Villanova I've seen him lead students not only in the academic profession, but also in the Augustinian tradition, and I think he'll do a great job leading the whole university in both respects.

Patrick O'brien

You don't know how bad I want that tournament. I've been watching Saint Joe and Villanova go since I've been here. It our turn to get there. It's our turn to make a run.

Mark Tyndale

We played really well against Villanova and Georgetown. We knew the West Virginia match was going to be close. The bounces just went their way.

Ben Bucca

I think you might want to give Villanova credit for that, but we also had some pretty good looks, the ball just didn't go.

Fran Dunphy

I was going to go to the Villanova game at Villanova, but I may not go. What?s going to get Marcus through this is his personality. He?s going to laugh about some of the things they say. You know, ?That?s pretty good,? and brush it off. It?s not going to bother him.

Kelly Williams

It's awesome. I remember when Erin and I and Cassie (Willard) would go and watch Council Rock teams playing in the district championships at Villanova. We wanted to play there and now we have our chance.

Addie Micir

Say what you want, but people wanted to see Bobby Huggins there and losing Bobby will be difficult for the league, ... Jay [Wright at Villanova] is coming along, but as far as national reputations, you've got the three of us [Calhoun, Boeheim and Pitino].

Jim Calhoun

The game was low-scoring, like a chess match. It came down to the end of the game and I think we were probably in better shape than Villanova. We ran so much and we were used to playing fast and furious.

Barbara Jacobs

That's what we came here for, ... We wanted to help put Villanova back on the map. We wanted to be a part of something special.

Curtis Sumpter

He'd stay up all night in the barn and stagger back up, and I'd go down and [right away] foal the thing. That happened a couple of times. Or Penn would be playing basketball, or Villanova. He'd go to the game and she would foal.

Gretchen Jackson

I was at Villanova on a recruiting visit and attended the game against Delaware. The Delaware fans were just going crazy.

Justin Johnson

These games are very important, because they won't play like the bottom teams. [Rutgers and Villanova] always tend to have their best games against us.

Deanna Gumpf

Obviously, we want to make the conference tournament. That's our biggest goal. Our focus is trying to pull off whatever we can to get to New York. We need to find a way to bounce back. Villanova is No. 4 in the country, so it would be a big win if we could pull it off.

Sammy Mejia

We are so excited to be going to Villanova to play in the finals, it's an opportunity that doesn't come along often.

Erin Gold
