"I told the Professor we'd meet him on the roof at a quarter to 10:00." "God bless you, boys." "You've played harder than I've ever seen anyone play tonight." "Quinn's unconscious out there." "You all right?" "I'm wiped, Coach." "I'm seeing spots." " Wilson:" "Coach, I'm ready." " Get in there." "Jackson:" "Mallory stays on the bench and Wilson is in the game?" "Not a good idea, Coach."
