ball bunch final game hope last matter ready realize soon throw waiting
It was just a matter of being ready to play. It's a matter of being ready as soon as they throw the ball up, not waiting 10 minutes. ... I hope we look at this and realize we can't ever do this again. Because if so, that's going to be the last game for a bunch of us. This is that final wake-up call.

That's when we all realized that we weren't going to take any pushing anymore. We were going to push back.

I realize this will require a great deal of hard work on my part, but believe that I am prepared for the challenge of playing in the NBA.
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.

I have no idea what I'm doing next year. I'm not worried about that right now.

It's definitely going to be fun. I haven't been able to get back in a long time, but the bottom line is we're playing basketball. It's going to be good to see people, but at the same time, we need to focus on what we need to do.
bump cuts definitely fight force front strength
That's definitely the strength of their team. They force you out of your offense, they bump you on all your cuts and front you in the post. They never give up. They fight you for everything.
came east giving intensity matching matter mentality team toughest
They came in with the mentality that they (Villanova) are the toughest team in the Big East and we came in with the same one. It was just a matter of us matching that same intensity and giving it right back to them.

They were so tough and physical we found ourselves having to match them. That was the roughest game I've been in.

We just want it so bad. I'm sure George Mason wants it just as bad. It's 40 minutes to Indianapolis.

We got lucky on that one. They didn't get a chance to steal that momentum.
