andy atmosphere bob coach excited good miss obviously tend thrive
I'm excited about the opportunity. Obviously (former coach Bob Huggins) isn't there and I'll miss that, but (coach Andy Kennedy) is there and is doing a good job. The atmosphere will be terrific. They don't like us and we tend to thrive on that. It should be fun.
based committee fall george prior proven washington year
It's disappointing. The committee does a lot of research, but for George Washington to fall to an 8, I just don't think that's right. They've proven all year they're better than that. For Xavier to get a 14 seed, it's disappointing. I thought they'd get an 11 or 12 based on prior history.
created degree lesser mind monster positive seen
To a lesser degree than Cincinnati, we've created a monster that our expectations are NCAA. ... I don't mind that. It's a little unfortunate that the NIT is not seen as a positive thing.
cincinnati doubt fans happy
While the team's still happy we're playing, I don't know if our fans are. But there's no doubt that (playing) Cincinnati makes it a little more intriguing.

Defensively we made some nice plays, but at crunch time they stepped up.
comparable exactly hard league played seven tough win
It's exactly as tough as I thought it would be. To me, it's very comparable to the league we played in for seven years. It's really hard to win on the road. I haven't been surprised.

For George Washington to fall to a No. 8, I don't think that's right.
although atmosphere crowd definitely fans good home normal terms
It was definitely a different atmosphere than a normal home game. Our crowd was not very good in terms of numbers, although the fans that were here were great.

We knew we weren't going to shut them down completely, but we at least wanted to make it more difficult for them with our zone.
besides challenge enjoy expected game guys knew nobody proving win
We knew nobody expected us to win that game besides us, and our guys enjoy the challenge of proving everyone wrong.
basketball becomes best certainly difficult future irrelevant leave miss sorry teammates wise wish
While I am sorry to see Mitch leave and we will certainly miss him, he has made a difficult but wise choice, ... There are times when basketball becomes irrelevant and this is one of those times. I and his teammates wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
last played team
We're a better team right now, the way we've played the last 10 games.
again cincinnati crunch inability inside line ncaa plays shots stepped tournament
Our inability to make shots inside the 3-point line showed up again tonight. We made some plays defensively, but they stepped up at crunch time. I think Cincinnati should have been an NCAA Tournament team.
based prior
I thought they'd be an 11 or 12, based on prior history.
