Mike Brey Great Quotations

Since I've been at Notre Dame, I've really tried to focus on the state, and thankfully we've had a lot of success with it. I love the kids in the state of Indiana. I think it starts with great high school coaches.

He's almost been like the model player in our program. We've asked him to do more each year and he's been a great representative of our basketball program. I think all of the coaches in our league would agree that he's a class act and a leader.

I think that will be the scouting report on us as we head into league play. Wofford was able to get into and under Chris tonight with their quick guards. At the same time, I think Russell Carter did a great job stepping up.

Padgett did a great job on both ends. And Jenkins did some good things down the stretch.

It's great drama, isn't it? We're like entertainment. We're a little bit of a miniseries right now that people can relate to, where everyone's a heartbreaker. The ratings people have got to love us because every one of them comes down to the wire.

He's the guy I'm most concerned about, you know, because he's giving it everything, plus he's running the locker room, he's keeping guys' heads up. I think he did a great job of that since Syracuse (on Wednesday night) and then he was really ready to be aggressive and set the tone.
