Quotes of the Tournament:

  1. Jim Boeheim: “And I’m saying all that because I don’t give a shit. I’m just saying what’s right.”
  2. Mike Krzyzewski: “I was hugging him (Grayson Allen), punching him. He didn’t punch back, which is a good decision on his part.”
  3. Roy Williams: “I’m dumb enough to think, if I die and I have more time-outs left than anybody, I’ll get something from it.”
  4. Roy Williams: “I don’t think about suicide. If I ever jump off the top of a building, have it investigated because somebody pushed my rear end.”
  5. Rick Pitino: “Well, I can’t be as eloquent as Jim.” (in reference to being asked about quote #1)
  6. Mike Krzyzewski: “Holy Mackeral.”
  7. Mike Brey: “Now, because we don’t have anybody on Chad Ford’s big board, is that why we’re overlooked? I think so.”
  8. Mike Krzyzewski: “You already spoke to Matt Jones?” *Yes* “That’s pretty good. You’re a quick son of a buck.” *I’m faster than I look* “You’re a hell of a lot faster than you look.”
  9. Mike Krzyzewski: “What are you doing? Yes, you did it. Like how the hell did you do that?”
  10. Leonard Hamilton: “I’m not going to be overly concerned about statistics. If that’s something that you’re overly concerned about, let’s wait until after the NCAA run, and let’s see where we are.” *Directed at me. Cheers, Leonard.
