"I'm four-for-four, and I'm fully confident I'm going to make it five-for-five."

"Each time I go for any kind of test I am a nervous wreck."

"I had been trying to do that for like 13, 14 years, and TNT and ESPN had blocked it."

"I do think there's a chance that accuracy in reporting has taken a massive, massive, massive, insane hit."

Sometimes these dream scenarios are better in our minds than they are in real life...

"I think in $22 million, they could have put together a better roster than they did."

"Being in an arena and being with guys like you, who love the game, is just the greatest high I can get."

"I don't care what his fat ass says, we giving you $200,000."

Dickie V will team up with Charles Barkley Indiana-Kentucky on Dec. 13 and a First Four matchup in March on TruTV.

"Coach K, his words bring me here to tears."

"He said the four words you love to hear. You are cancer-free, baby!"

"That really is special."

"You worked on that all day."

"It's been unbelievable. A tough three years, those four cancer battles that I don't wish on anybody. Cancer sucks."

"This conference, for years, was the best. And I'm telling you right now, it has taken a real hit."

Head coach Rick Barnes presented the beloved announcer with a $10,000 check.

Saturday marked the first day of March, and that saw plenty of madness in college basketball. Some came...
