Tuesday quotes, Wednesday edition.

“I don’t think Purdue had beaten us in [23] years and I don’t think Indiana had ever beaten us, so in a way it’s the law of averages.” - Russ Rose. Yeah, once every 23 years and never doesn't really fit the definition of the law of averages, does it?


"Vulcans pummel Penguins" - Headline from Wahine Sports Network. Funny, it doesn't sound like something a Vulcan would do.


"We took the lead (against Cal) and all of a sudden we just … I don’t know, we just bonked." - UCLA frosh Kelly Reeves. "Bonked"? Isn't that the PowerBar slogan from, like, 1999? If UCLA blows out their next opponent and Reeves says, "We really destroyed that team. Where's the beef?", we'll know something's up.


"Rebarchak is a great athlete. She doesn't know if we're playing Penn State or if we're playing Morehead State. She just plays." - Purdue's Dave Shondell on frosh Catherine Rebarchak. Well, sure, but I think she'd notice it the first time she hit into a blocker she thought was from Morehead State, only to discover it was Arielle Wilson, right? Am I right?


"The team was really helpful the first time I had to come in and play for Laura." - Illinois' Jazmine Orozco. The first time. Now that she's gotta fill in for DeBruler again, she's on her own. No more free rides, snookums.




"Bears extend win streak despite missing Pang" - Headline from WashU's Student Life newspaper. So they weren't having Pang pangs? Ha, get it? "Pangs" for pang? 'Cause, you see, there are "pangs" and...
...oh like you had something better.


"We were outplayed in every facet of the (Arizona State match), yet we won." - Oregon's Jim Moore, stickin' it to ASU. Stickin' it to 'em!


“He always asks, ‘What would Cindy and Farok do here?’ ” - Sarah Elliott, wife of Jerritt Elliott, who played for Cindy and Farok at Washington State. I wonder if Sarah ever says, "Move to Iowa where our son will become a basketball legend"?
