beaten games guys help plays three winning
Those three guys have all made winning plays to help them win three games in a row. And those were games they could have all been beaten in.
deserved half number offensive played six sticks win
They played awfully well and deserved to win the game. The thing that sticks out, to me, is the number of offensive put-backs they had. They had way too many for us to win on the road. They got six of their baskets in the first half on put-backs.

We all understood how good George Mason is. For us to have a chance, it would take a special effort. We got a special effort.

Urgency is the next game, and the next game was Ole Miss. If it had been somebody else, would we have played that hard? I don't know. But tonight, there was a special effort, and we had to have a special effort.
