“I'm probably the only person loyal to the bone to my alma mater. I don't want to go anywhere. I'm just proud to be in the position I'm in.”
Alvin Wyatt
“[Miles] said, 'We're going to do the alma mater,' and everybody was like, 'What?,' ... I am actually excited about the celebration with the students. I want to see how it goes. This is the first time LSU has ever done anything like this, so I'm happy to be a part of it, but I'm still on the edge about not knowing what to expect.”
Justin Vincent
“It's his alma mater. He's a Montana guy. The entire community's behind him ... I know everyone on the team wanted him to stay. It's just real comforting to hear the news.”
Andrew Strait
“I didn't really want to watch while they were celebrating. When you lose the final game, it doesn't mater what tournament; it's not fun to watch the other team celebrate. You're happy for them, they deserve that but, you know, the only thing I could think about was it could be you, too.”
Antero Niittymaki
“The balls they hit were elevated in the (strike) zone. It was a mater of making the adjustments to keep the ball down and get some ground balls.”
Jamie Moyer
“It was a mater of this is a regional. It's your last game if you don't win, so you've got to step up. My teammates gave me open looks, and my shot just fell.”
Charles Warren
“I've had my alma mater (Bemidji State) call me the last two times the job has been open. But where my kids were in school, and where I was at professionally, it just wasn't the right time. A lot of times in this profession, it's all about timing. Still, if you told me 21 years ago that I'd be here 21 years, I'd say you're crazy.”
