bottom came close couple despite expected fully game games happened however last line points until whether win winning
We all fully expected to be in Indianapolis despite what happened the last couple games with the close calls. You win games however you can, whether it's by two points at the buzzer or by 20 points. The bottom line is we were winning games up until (Sunday). We came up one game short.
capable close felt happen team
We all felt that we had a team that was capable of making a championship run. It didn't happen this year. It was close, but getting close doesn't always do it.
basketball bunch court far focusing good happening job letting matter outside people playing thoughts throughout throw worrying year
It's just a matter of us really focusing on what we need to do and not letting other outside things throw us off track. I know we've already experienced a bunch of things throughout this year with things happening outside the court and expectations and thoughts about what people should be doing and everything. I think so far we've done a really good job of playing basketball and not worrying about all that other stuff.
allow couple happens physical playing poke push quick saw took
It's about time. I haven't been playing the way that I can. Once we established that we weren't going to allow them to push us around and poke us, they got a couple of quick fouls, and once that happens to you, you can't play as physical as you want. Once we saw that, we just took it to them more.
again figured happen nights tonight
Just never let up. I thought we had really figured that out, but tonight was one of those nights where it happened. I don't think it will ever happen again with us.
defense happen honestly opposed order practice realize running shut stopping strength stuff team teams win
Honestly I don't think that will happen just because of the way our team is. We realize that our strength is on defense and in order for us to win games, we have to shut teams down. In practice (Monday) we really concentrated on stopping their stuff as opposed to running ours.
george mason minutes sure wants
We just want it so bad. I'm sure George Mason wants it just as bad. It's 40 minutes to Indianapolis.
chance lucky steal
We got lucky on that one. They didn't get a chance to steal that momentum.
couple keeps last team winning worry
Things just haven't been going my way the last couple of games, but, you know, as long as the team keeps winning that's all that really matters. We're doing well. We're 14-1 so I can't really worry about myself too much.
bouncing grit loss poise tough
The Villanova loss was tough but we showed a lot of grit and poise bouncing back from that game.
excuse good
There's really no excuse for it. We're too good a team.
excuse few foot heart last minutes
There's really no excuse for it. But also I think we showed a lot of heart in the last few minutes and put the foot back on the pedal.
definitely game gave needed people spark step
Rashad gave us a spark in the beginning. We had a lot of people step up tonight. This was definitely the kind of game where we needed everyone.
game physical proven running team throughout type year
There's going to be a whole lot of pushing, a whole lot of shoving, but that's the type of game that they like. We do play well in those type of games. We're a running team, but I think we've proven throughout this year that we can be a physical team as well. We're just going to have to prove it even more so.
