"Brendan Winters" is an American former basketball player. He is best known for his NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans/All-American college career at Davidson College. He is also the son of former National Basketball Association (NBA) player and coach Brian Winters.

Winters led Mullen High School in Denver, Colorado, to a 5A state championship in 2001. After receiving no Division I (NCAA)/Division I college scholarship offers, he opted to attend a year of prep school at Worcester Academy. He was recruited by coach Bob McKillop after his prep school year.

My name always gets paired with his. Everyone always tells me my shot looks like his. That's because he taught me how to shoot. And I'm definitely thankful for that.

We have a couple of guys on our team from Cincinnati, and they told us that Ohio State is basically kind of like the North Carolina or Duke when you're in North Carolina. We're kind of around that every day. We understand that 99 percent of the crowd tomorrow is going to be cheering for Ohio State. But we're OK with that thought, I think.

Coming in the tournament last year, we felt a lot of pressure. We felt like we had to win, we were supposed to win, and I think we got a little uptight.

This year, we finished third in the league and we weren't happy about that. But I think that made us a little looser and that just allowed us to come out and play to win rather than not to lose.

We understand that 90 percent of the crowd tomorrow is going to be cheering for Ohio State. We're OK with that though.

I don't think we've been down by that much (17 points) to a Southern Conference opponent this year. For us to be able to pull through it should make us that much stronger.

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.

It was pretty frustrating. We haven't been down by that much against Southern Conference teams this season.

We got confused a couple of times on ball screens and he was able to get some open looks. I guess it just happened to be his time.
