change days great last later name pops selection six sunday sweet team tournament
It's been a great ride. On Selection Sunday our name pops up there, and six days later we're in the Sweet 16. Things change quick. But we're the same level-headed team that went into the tournament last weekend.
creeps goes handle talk
It's just something that doesn't go away. Sometimes you talk about selfishness and it goes away. This one, it creeps back in and you have to handle it again. I'm on them all the time.
best switched
It wasn't our best possession. They switched out and we couldn't get it to him ... we panicked.
came credit gates george hurt led mason played selection shot sweet
I want to give George Mason a lot of credit. They came out of the gates hot, and that was the difference. That said, I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play the way that led us to the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us.
aggressive
They were aggressive when we were on our heels.
arena basketball bigger people played
It's just a basketball game. It's just played in a bigger arena with more people watching.
anybody asked figured game looked might though win
I told anybody who asked me that I thought we were going to play well offensively. We were fresh. We might have figured out a way to win the game 65-63 if we didn't make shots. But because we did it looked easy, even though it actually wasn't.
colonial elite great
It's great one of us is going to the Elite Eight. It's great for the Colonial and great for the Valley.
brought bump couple everybody games hard hit league losing might playing together
It's hard not to hit a bump in this league because everybody is so good. We're playing a little better. I think losing a couple of games might have brought us together as a team.
good halftime strong style win
It's a big win because of the way we won. That wasn't our style of game. I told them at halftime that we're not very good at football, but we've got to play football. We had to be strong and go at the basket.
easier helps playing
It really helps playing Drake. Only having one day to prepare, it was easier for us. I don't know if it was easy, but it was easier.
exactly
We did exactly what we had to do offensively. We executed better, which is what we had to do.
care home league looked pro team took
We're 2-0 and we took care of our home court. This league is loaded. (Bradley) looked like a pro team out there.
defense example free game missouri offensive shooting state throw whether won
We won the Evansville game differently than we won the Missouri State game, for example. Whether it's rebounding or free throw shooting or defense or offensive execution, it's been something different each game for us.
