Key Quotes from Gary Blair interview:
"Every team in the SEC will be pulling for us tonight. If we win this ball game, every one still has a chance (at a share of the SEC Championship) going in to Sunday."
"We shot ourselves in the foot against Vanderbilt. But at the same time, Vanderbilt outplayed us."
"Its hard winning on the road, but I think we are up to it... I'm looking forward to the challenge. I hope it's sold out tonight. There will probably be 14,000."
"Tennessee is a great offensive rebounding team and a great transition team. They have a little bit of everything."
"Pat [Summitt] left, but her player's didn't leave, her coaching staff didn't leave. Pat sits on the second row now instead of the first row. They [Tennessee] are still very good and will be even better next year."
"Tennessee's struggles have been on the road, not at home... They are a very good basketball team."
"The best thing about our league is that we have five teams that are playing at the highest level and that have a chance to make it to the Final Four and to win the SEC or the SEC tournament. One of the five will get there."
"In men's basketball, John Wooden. In women's basketball, Pat Summitt. There are no other two people that have represented their country, their teams, themselves and their families more than those two young people."
