-=== Championship Quotes ===
-** [[Al McGuire]] ** \\
-(immediately following the game) "I think they fell apart in the second half. We hung in there."\\
-(How do you feel?)  "Emotionally drained. I'm pleased for the guys. It doesn't seem real. Ya know, you think about something like this, but ... I've always been an alley fighter. I don't usually get into the silk lace situations. It seems like it is preordained, but I don't like to use the words of TV announcers, the cliches."\\
-(In the interview room) "We put in the four corners just yesterday in the hour allotted us for practice. We figured to run it and look for the good shot, keeping the big men underneath. For a while, both teams were playing a chess game. I was not emotional until a five-second count triggered me. I trigger easily. As a coach, you have to be constantly alert. Right now, I feel washed out.
