Bruce Pearl Team Quotations

Great players are going to have to step up if you're going to beat the best team in the country. Certainly Chris carried us.

I think it's very wide-open. I think LSU is obviously the team to beat as SEC (regular-season) champion. I think Florida comes in playing extremely well, as does Arkansas.

This thing is wide open. There is a lot of parity in this league and any team is capable of winning it.

Sparks makes that team better because he's so versatile. He's a threat from three, he takes big shots and he does a great job of getting his teammates involved.

Florida looks to me like they're the team to beat.

I hope if Kentucky ever becomes irritated with me, it's because my team is good enough to compete with them.
