Quotes by James White
All I heard was a crackling noise and then I saw the scaffolding fall off the building.
If we came in and played Wyoming State East University School of Making Chairs, it doesn't matter who we're playing because we just lost two games in a row. Every win is important to us because we need a win.
I knew if he just made one of them, we were going to win. I was confident he would make at least one.
The larger question is when humans began influencing the climate and nutrient system. We are in an unusually long interglacial period right now, and another interesting but unresolved question is whether humans, without forethought, have inadvertently kept Earth out of the next ice age by altering its energy budget.
That hole got me going in the end. I was pretty consistent (Monday). I never got into any trouble. I had lots of chances for birdie and my putting was pretty good.
It's my last season and you want to be known as a winner. I haven't lost this many games in my career in any season. Every team I played on went to the Tournament and had a good season. I don't like losing. I don't think anybody does.
It's a good feeling. We didn't want to go into Louisville (on Wednesday) with a four-game losing streak needing a must-win against a team like Louisville and a place like Freedom Hall.
After a while, you keep driving to the hole and doing things and you don't get no fouls called, what's the point? Eventually you just settle and shoot jump shots because you're going to the hole and you don't get fouls called, even though you're getting fouled.
There's nine games to go. We've got to get something going or we're not going to the (NCAA) Tournament.
There's going to be a lot of family and other guys. This is my first time playing at home. I'm just trying to satisfy all of the people.
