QUOTES OF THE DAY

“We went into this week thinking: clean slate, starting over, six games to go. Everybody is excited about South Carolina, especially since they beat Alabama. But they’re coming off a tough loss, too, so it should be a battle.”
Men’s Basketball coach Kevin Stallings on being picked fifth in the SEC East:

“It doesn’t bother me. Most years we have probably finished higher than we have been picked. We are the popular choice of being picked low.”
Women’s Basketball coach Melanie Balcomb on her roster heading into the season:

“We have so little experience but at the same time I love the competition of that. We have a lot of spots open. I’m excited about the competition and people not knowing whether they’re going to play, their playing time, or their roles or positions. Last spring was the best spring we’ve had in a long time. Kids worked harder and were more positive than I’ve seen them in years.”
