focused fun group guess hanging whatever
It's a fun and focused group when they get away from home, for whatever reason. They don't get excited. They don't get rattled. I guess they like hanging out all day together.
attention below george perfect setup stay
It's a perfect setup for them. With all the attention on George Mason, they can stay below the radar.
certainly eight knew league quick six successful turnaround wherever wins zero
I've never thought of that -- 'Is he a quick turnaround guy?' But he certainly has become that. I knew he would be very successful wherever he went, but I didn't know he would take UTEP from six to 24 or A&M from zero to eight in league wins -- and do it overnight, which is what he has done.
nobody teams travel travels
There may be other teams that travel as well as we do, but nobody travels better.
excited focused fun missouri
They're an immature, fun and focused group. They don't get excited on the road. Even in the Missouri game, they weren't rattled.
against game negatives playing selection
That's one of the negatives of playing the game that butts up against the selection show.
blown deal feelings hard helped might proportion
That kind of got blown out of proportion how that went down. There's no hard feelings about that deal at all, but I think in a way it might have helped us.
completed information matter people sure
It's not anyone's fault. It was just a matter of getting all of the information compiled and contacting the right people to make sure that he had completed all of the requirements.
cost couple four good shooting teams three
Everybody's shooting two or three or four a game. I think with teams like that, it's why you don't shoot as good a percentage. But 8-for-17 is miserable. It's already cost us a couple of games.
game guys performers sure typical
The big guys were the better performers this game. It sure wasn't a typical game for the perimeter.
finished point turning
The turning point was the way we finished the first half. I think that deflated us.
brought fans grown hard joy saw
They brought so much joy through the season. Our fans saw how much they had grown and how hard they tried.
guys pull thinking time
They'll pull for the other guys to do well, but at the same time, they are thinking 'This is my time too.' So I think it is going to make for some pretty competitive practices.
figure game great hopefully seasons start win
It was huge, because we didn't play well at all. That's what makes great seasons ? when you figure out how to win a game when you don't play real well. Hopefully that's a start for us.
