-  * "Don't mess with happy." 
-  * "His body is better than it looks."  - describing Davante Gardner 
-  * "I Googled 'magic pills' after we got beat by DePaul. Nothing came up. I told our team, 'I tried to help you, but all I know to do is just keep working. That's it.'" - January 26, 2010 following defeat of Rutgers 82-59 
-  * "The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, show up and go to work and do it every day no matter what's surrounding you" - March 17, 2012 following defeat of Murray State to advance to the Sweet 16 
-  * "Faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love, and a lot of these kids have never been loved.  And when you've never been loved and you're 20 years old and somebody tries to love you for the first time, you don't know how to handle it.  And when you start talking about God for the first time and when you think about what those kids have been through in the previous 20 years, they're not sure there is a God.  So when you start talking about love and you start talking about God and you're with kids every single day and you do it for about 150 days and they get up here and speak, which is a lot harder than you think, to people that they don't know and they use the same words that you use, it means you're helping their life.  That's what it means."  - March 17, 2012 following defeat of Murray State to advance to the Sweet 16 
-  * "I like guys that have had to ride in 15-passenger vans.  I like guys that, when they order, they use a number. ‘I’d like the combo meal No. 2.’ I like those kinds of guys. I’m never opposed to signing a guy who ate at McDonald’s pre- and post-game, and is thankful to get one cotton t-shirt, not a Dri-FIT." 
-  * “We need to grow our hair out to protect our brains so we don't forget how to play like us.” 
-  * "Just gotta hang in there for one more day...and then do it again the next day." 
-  * “I think that there’s too much sugar in the world and not enough salt.  Kids want to be challenged. Humans want to aspire to something. You don’t win in life and you don’t win in athletics with softness or selfishness.” 
-  * "They'll always say you're not good enough, but what you have to identify is who the they is." 
-  * "Success will kiss you in private, but failure will slap you in public." 
-  * “Success is not owned. It's rented. You gotta pay rent everyday, and if you don't pay rent, they kick you out."
