"Rick Majerus did not attend the Atlantic 10 media day." Must have been a substandard buffet.

"If you called 20 coaches and asked them about the Atlantic 10, they'd tell you our league is as good as any in the country," Rhode Island coach Jim Baron said. "What else do you need to talk about? We have a formula here that needs to be spoken about. I'll never understand why the teams in this league, the coaches in this league don't get more respect." Answer - Fordham and La Salle.

"We have to become relevant again, not just locally in New York but nationally." - Tom Pecora. Again? When was Fordham relevant?

I will be pulling for St. Bonaventure and St. Joseph's.

"Our guys are very proud of what we accomplished, but maybe more so of what we showed down the stretch. We showed a lot about what we are made of, that there's no quit in this program." -- Brian Gregory on the Flyers' NIT Championship. Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Winthrop still had better seasons than you.

"Our guys have been on the big stage. They've been to three straight Sweet 16s. But they still bring that hunger every single day." -- Chris Mack. Damnit, is it 11/12 yet?
