Quiddly Quorum of Quotes

"Volleyball team buried by runs" - Headline from Northern Illinois' Northern Star newspaper. You know, you really should have someone read over those headlines. Or maybe not so much spicy food before you play.

"At the end of the game, I was like 'Are we seriously winning right now, are we about to beat Notre Dame?'" - UConn's Sade Chambers on their win over the Irish, expressing surprise that really no one else feels at this point when it comes to Notre Dame.

"It's an excuse, but we played like a team that all they worried about was their midterms." - Ducks' Jim Moore on the team's loss to ASU. Stupid academics. Always getting in the way of, you know, stuff.

"Everyone was just so high and so excited. I mean, we were just screaming.” - Cal's Ellen Orchard on the Golden Bears sweeping UCLA at Pauley Pavilion for the first time ever. High, excited, and screaming? Dude, don't bogart.

"I think today, they got out of their own heads and just got really hungry, and from now on, we're just going to do that." - Boston College coach Andrea Leonard describing a mindset apparently involving an out-of-body experience and fasting.

"The Hoyas got off to a great start. The Hoyas were neck and neck with Villanova through game one." - Georgetown top Hoya Arlisa Hagan. Either the writer is really bad with quotes, or Hagan has suddenly decided to refer to her team in the third person. George likes his chicken spicy.

"I’m proud of them for showing up tonight..." -- Sheri Dunbar's proud of her team just for showing up? Really" -- "...with that intensity and that energy that they had, and for competing." OH! ...oh. My mistake.

Hey, showing up is more than they've been able to do for quite some time.

And maybe Chambers was confused she was playing Weiss' Irish. Wait, that might actually be less of an accomplishment.
