George Washington guard T.J. Thompson:
“[The Liacouras Center], that’s a rough environment. I think my freshman or sophomore year I played at Temple, and that was pretty hard. They’re supposed to be a real good team this year and they’ve got a lot of potential stars.”
Saint Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli:
“Keep your eye on a guy like Wayne Marshall at Temple, because I know what he brings.”
UMass forward Rashaun Freeman:
“We know in every game, no matter how good or bad they’re playing, when we play against Temple it’s going to be a fight. Like last year. We were up big, and then they came back. When we face Temple’s defense, we’re in for a complicated game.”
Temple guard Mardy Collins:
“We’re real young, we’re still learning, but I think we’re going to be a lot better than last year. All the guys are still learning different parts of the zone, different parts of the offense, so we’re just going to come out here and compete and play hard.”
Temple coach John Chaney:
“I don’t think anyone has scheduled to play more top 25 teams than us. I just want to bring these teams back here for our fans to see.”
Xavier junior forward/center Tara Boothe on Candice Dupree:
“The one thing I remember about [Candice] was from last year in the A-10 tournament. I went up for two lay-ups, virtually the same shot twice. [Candice] blocked both of them and sent them about 10 feet away.”
Temple Coach Dawn Staley
“We’re going to beat a lot of teams we’re not
supposed to beat this season.”
