best definitely interest maryland
We definitely think it's not in our teams' best interest to go to Maryland for the money.
believe games watching
I'll probably be jittery watching all the other games play out. But I believe in the system.
cut data guys selective win
I just thought it was too long and too harsh. You can win a lot of arguments with a selective cut of data and I think that's what those guys did.
knowing miss selection
I miss the selection weekend. Not knowing is agony.
analyst committee criticize national ought
If you're a national analyst and you're going to criticize the national committee then you ought to be as knowledgeable as the committee.
cup good
I think our cup overflows with everything good that's happened.
attacks below calling chair
The attacks were inappropriate, they were skewering the chair and calling out the committee. It was way, way off the charts, below the belt. It was unnecessary.
brand league mind name question valley
Take away the brand name (Missouri Valley Conference) and put the name of another league on our shirt, and there is no question in people's mind that we should be a five-bid league this year.
apparently craig pointed slate wiped
As Craig Littlepage apparently pointed out, that slate is wiped clean.
It's very important we back up this season.
competing
It's a free-market system. We were competing with all the conferences, and Saturdays were the most problematic.
almost closer difference fairly mistake playing teams
They're closer than they've ever been. The difference between 5 and 13 is almost insignificant. You have a No. 13 in Bradley playing a No. 4 in Kansas. I don't think it's a mistake in the seeding. The teams were fairly evenly matched.
chair entitled proper question
They're entitled to their opinion. I don't think that's the proper forum, to take on the chair and question his integrity. In that situation, I think it was wrong, ... terrible.
elation four joy
There's a lot of joy and elation for those four teams.
