“Mississippi begins in a lobby of a Memphis, Tennessee hotel and extends south to the Gulf of Mexico”
William Faulkner
“The Tennessee Titans played in Memphis until their stadium was ready in Nashville. The Carolina Panthers played in South Carolina at Clemson before moving to Charlotte, N.C. We're not looking that far ahead, but it's a possibility.”
Greg Aiello
“I was never referring to the city of Memphis or the players. I should have used better terminology. I love the city and the program.”
Dane Bradshaw
“Enjoy it. Take a breath, kick back and enjoy. Because this doesn't happen every year at Memphis. It happens at Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and those other programs. It doesn't happen at Memphis.”
John Calipari
“What a great feeling, to still be playing and to beat an outstanding team like Memphis. I'm really proud of the defense we played today. The defense was just incredible.”
Ben Howland
“I'm glad we got another game (tonight) and it's not in Memphis.”
Jason Kidd
“If anybody saw (the Memphis game) and knows we've beaten Arizona and LSU, if they don't think we're a tournament team, then they don't know basketball. I've taken worse teams than this to the Sweet 16. I don't think I have to lobby for it.”
