“Kentucky is as deep a team as any in the country. They’ve got one of the best scoring/shooting power forwards in Tayshaun Prince. The reigning SEC player of the year carried the Wildcats throughout last season. He doesn’t look intimidating, but the thin Prince is one of the toughest matchups for opposing coaches.”

“Prince scored 31 points and hit six straight, that’s six straight 3s, seven total in the first half to blow out North Carolina … The performance was epic for Rupp standards. But Prince once again was a balanced player for the ‘Cats with 11 boards and four steals — making the reigning SEC MVP a legit candidate again.”

“I think Tayshaun brings a lot to the team. He can post up or he can shoot the three and he gets other teammates involved. He can play inside and out. Jason Williams, I think, is the best guard in the country but I think Tayshaun brings more to this team.”

“Tayshaun Prince had a phenomenal night (against UNC). I don’t know if I can ever remember a guy shooting the basketball like he did tonight. I think his maturity and athleticism tonight played a big factor.”

Matt Doherty, North Carolina Head Coach

“Man, what an effort. It didn’t hit me exactly what he’d done until I got off the court, because I was in the game while he was doing it. I’ve seen his range and it didn’t surprise me how hot he got. Once he’s feeling it, there’s not much you can do except sit back and watch. That’s what happens when you have a first-team All-American who comes back for his senior year.”

“Tayshaun is a king, not a prince.”

“I don’t think I’ve seen a guy shoot like this before and I don’t know if I will again.”
