What a game. I was torn because I wanted to see our league do well, but I also wanted to see those seniors for Tennessee win. It was hard to watch.

That was a great college basketball game. You can't walk out of this coliseum with your head down. You've got to be able to walk out proud.

I grew up following Harry Gant and Morgan Shepard as a kid. I've always been a race fan. This is going to be fun for me.

I've been on the phone a lot. And hopefully [Coastal will get] a push from other people in the conference so these kids can continue to play.

[Football coach] David [Bennett] has done a fantastic job and so has [baseball coach] Gary Gilmore, ... That can only help us by bringing more attention to the great things going on at Coastal. That and the arena.

Early in the year, we had everybody trying to hit home runs. Everybody was trying to do the spectacular thing, and they were making turnovers and everybody was just doing things uncharacteristic. Once we settled down ? we started running our offense and it's really looked good.
