- | === Championship Quotes === | ||
- | ** [[Al McGuire]] **\\ | ||
- | "I thought we had won the game in the first half, but you have to give Lou (Carnesecca) credit. He keeps coming at you. It's been a hard week. You get locked up with 12 boys for eight days and you get on each other' | ||
- | |||
- | (On the 1967 NIT Championship loss to Southern Illinois) "The only time I thought of that game was at the start of the second half. I was afraid if St. John's scored first, that might be it." | ||
- | |||
- | (On Dean Meminger) "There is one way I say you can tell a pro in this game. When they put combination defenses on him, a triangle and two or something like that, he passes off. Unless the All-American passes off, his team is going to get beat." | ||
- | |||
- | ** St. John's Coach, Lou Carnesecca **\\ | ||
- | (On Marquette) "The best defensive club I have ever played against. They' | ||
- | |||
- | ** [[Ric Cobb]] **\\ | ||
- | "All the time in practice, you hear that voice screaming at you 'get up, get up, play defense, play defense.' |
