Men's basketball

I am supremely impress at the attendance of tonight's celebration.

My estimate is about 700 showed up. Here are some quick highlights…

• Mack Rhoades: "This means the world to our team, our coaches and our staff. Thank you (to the fans) … Nobody agreed with the way the season ended. What I'll remember is how everyone dealt with it."
• Luis Proenza read a New York Times article that said the NIT selection committee was heartless.
• Keith Dambrot: "Sometimes, through setbacks, you find out a lot about your community … I want to be here the rest of my career. You guys remember that when we only win 15 games one year … We're going to outgrow the JAR because I think that's something we need to do."
• Dru Joyce: "When I was young, I used to come to the games, and they'd put me to sleep." He also talked about how he coaxed Romeo Travis and Jeremiah Wood to play at UA.
• Travis: "I would never imagine the gym would be full of people .. Me and Dru leaving is not the end of anything. This is the beginning."
• Nick Dials was the only Zips player not to show. He was in class.
