Quotes from SportsCentury: Villanova vs. Georgetown

"We go against teams that sometime break the press in the first half and, you know, do things. But, it's typical. That's what we are thinking. It's just a matter of time that, you know, they miss a shot or turn the ball over. But it never came." --- Horace Broadnax, Georgetown guard

"It's called a zone. Usually one player gets in it, we had a whole team in it."

--- Gary McLain, Villanova guard

"I knew that they would have to play a perfect game in order to beat us. And they did. So I just figured they made a deal with the devil." --- Bill Martin, Georgetown forward

"It's still a hard pill to swallow. Whenever I'm watching ESPN Classic and it comes on, I turn the TV off." --- Patrick Ewing, Georgetown center

"Georgetown at the time was the Darth Vader of college sports. They didn't always help people up, they didn't smile for the camera, they didn't play the part of 'We're happy to be here.'" --- Michael Wilbon, ESPN's Pardon The Interruption

"The first play of the game, all five (Georgetown) guys would foul you, because the refs could only call one. And it would just set at tone for the way a game was going to be played." --- Chris Mullin, St. John's forward

"Coach Massimino had mentioned to us (after beating Memphis State), if we made it that far, there's no reason to stop now. Let's go ahead and win one more game and shock the country." --- Dwayne McClain, Villanova forward

On the Gary McLain cocaine scandal:
"It was one of the greatest life experiences that I've ever had, (but)when that's thrown into the mix, you know that tarnishes it a little bit." --- Harold Jensen, Villanova guard

"What hurt me the most was that he implicated everybody, but named nobody. It made it sound like we were all in that loop." --- Chuck Everson, Villanova center

"Whatever Gary McLain went through personally could never taint the championship. People said that, but that's ridiculous, because when you look at the greatest upsets, you'll see Villanova and Georgetown. Can't deny the game, they lost, we won, it's a great story." --- Gary McLain
