“I think this sends a strong statement about where we stand when it comes to the importance of academics in this conference. We support that. We feel it was a very good move at a great time -- when we're coming together as a 16-team conference, the largest in the country.”

Rasheed Wallace
“This wasn't any kind of statement -- you make statements in the playoffs. This was just playing a game against a very good team.”
