I felt like we were going to win this game by a large margin when we came in. Nobody gave us any respect all year. We proved it. We took our respect.

I can't remember the last time we came out and played that well. We didn't play that well in the first half, but in the second half we played as well as we had all season. When we play like that, we're tough to beat.

We gave them the first game. We weren't mentally ready to play. The second game, it came down to the end. So we'll be ready now.

Al tipped the ball off the offensive rebound and it came right to me.

I hit hard. I must have landed on my head because everything went blank. Everything was going every which way. It took awhile but everything came back to normal. I knew I wasn't going back in (in the first half) because it was my second foul anyway.

When I saw the ball go up, I felt like it was going to come off and I went full speed. It came right to me. It turned out to be the key play of the game.

Everybody's going to be cheering for George Mason. It's a great story. If I were a fan, I'd probably be cheering for them, too. But you can't get caught up in it. We have to go out and take it to them. Everybody wants us to lose but that doesn't mean much. I kind of want to be the bad guy.
