-=== Al McGuire ===
+//"I thought we had won the game in the first half, but you have to give Lou (Carnesecca) credit. He keeps coming at you. It's been a hard week. You get locked up with 12 boys for eight days and you get on each other's nerves. But I was very pleased to meet St. John's in the final and beat them. And frankly, I don't care what other people think about us being here. I was really pleased with my seniors. They were fortunate enough to go out champions and they won it themselves. Our balance helped a lot. We had four different high scorers in four games and [[Ric Cobb]] played a fine tournament. I thought it was a toss-up between him and [[Dean Meminger]] for the Most Valuable Player award. Ric has that certain type of thing in pressure situations. I guess it's a tremendous confidence in himself. Because of our aggressive defense, it's very difficult to play four games in a week. We played our defense though, and we didn't let everybody shoot right away. I think that was one of the hidden things that won the tournament. We ran Pete Maravich (of LSU) into the ground. We pressured him on offense and kept running on defense."//\\
