close guys maybe pressure seen
I thought maybe we could do it. I've seen our guys get hot. But we could never get close enough to put pressure on them.
almost establish game gone minutes paul team
We didn't establish Paul or Kyle. We were almost 10 minutes into the game and (George Mason) didn't have a team foul. We've gone through Paul all year, and we didn't do that tonight.
bunch country people proud seen
We're really proud of what we've done, and we weren't going to let a bunch of people around the country who haven't seen us make us feel any different. We know what we have and it's pretty special.
affect home lose loss next straight
We can't let one loss affect the next day. If we do, we're going to lose 16 straight in this league. We're 2-1. We're 11-3, and we've got a home game.
final profile program raises reaching sweet understand
What you have to understand is that at our level, reaching the Sweet 16 is like reaching the Final Four. It raises the profile of a program like nothing else can.
chemistry example funny great kid players respects roles starts top watch
He's a great kid and one of our leaders. I think a lot of players watch his example. Chemistry is a funny thing with each team. I think with this team, everyone respects each others' roles and respects what each other can do. That starts at the top with Paul.
game george good knew mason win
We were going to have to play an awfully good game to win here. We knew that. We know how good George Mason is.
bad points
We were so bad offensively in the first half. It was 15-6, and I thought we should be up 16 or 17 points right now.
hurt league led played selection shot sweet
I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play together. We didn't play the way that led us to a league championship and the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us in the first half.
boxed gone
If we had boxed out, it wouldn't have gone to overtime.
almost couple four gotten last publicity saying teams three
I have been saying three or four teams the whole time. The last couple of days, we've gotten so much publicity that it's almost been negative.
best gotten guarded nights player
Sean's gotten stronger. He understands it better, so he's not out of position. He's guarded the best player some nights -- he's come a long way.
complaints-and-complaining game home
No complaints. We had the first game on our home court. This is probably how it should be.
guys weeks
Now that that's over -- it's been a long two weeks -- it's about these guys right here.
