coaching high kid kids moment numbers school smart start
His numbers in high school didn't lie. And then you start coaching the kid and he's so smart about the game. Those are the kind of kids we have to find to have a moment like this.
late showing start
Hopefully, they'll start showing up on time. Showing up late to things is not the way to do it.
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.

ad fans home kansas lost row run since state sure third took tremendous win won year
It's not a hump, it's a mountain. My AD knows. My fans know where we were when I took this job. My first year, we lost 11 in a row and I didn't know if we were ever going to win a game. My third year we were 3-3, and I wasn't sure I would keep my job. We lost at home to Kansas State and ever since then it has been a tremendous run to get where we are today. We accomplished something we haven't in 23 years, we won a championship.
I just want to get this out of the way: I'm staying.

I kept saying we weren't any good when practice started, and now we're part of the Sweet 16. We just keep getting a little bit better.

I've heard from a lot of people. It's amazing how many Valley fans have called. And he doesn't call anybody. Maybe his wife.
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.
arena basketball bigger people played
It's just a basketball game. It's just played in a bigger arena with more people watching.
