During a tournament, all the games are kind of like this. We were very, very fortunate to win. It could have gone either way. |

Effort has never been a problem with these guys. Our problem has been our guys not understanding and not recognizing certain situations. |
Even though the Tigers don't have the height, if you look at the size and girth of those guys in relation to our guys - they're more powerful and more explosive up front. I don't know if we had a physical advantage. |
Ever since the Alabama game, for [Humphrey] and maybe the tirade I had on him in a timeout, I hope it's carried over. He just needs to let it go, it's really that simple for our team. |
Ever since the Georgia game [Jan. 7], our team hasn't been healthy. |
Every guy comes in and thinks they're going to play 40 minutes, and after the first game when they don't play as much as they want, you've got to be able to address it and get guys to accept their roles. If selfishness creeps in, teammates can sniff that out pretty quickly. Then all of the sudden the barriers of trust get broken down. |
Every minute of it. I'm thrilled, I really am. Hopefully with the job he's done, it will bode well for (assistants) Anthony Grant and Donnie Jones and other coaches who have been here. |
Every time we were ready to blow it open, they hit a three. |
Everybody in our league has lost some, |
Everybody talks about the end result. You're playing for the national championship. I think the only experience I tried to use from 2000 was, you've got to want this night to last as long as you can. You've got to want them to put more time on the clock. You've got to love playing. |
Everybody was worried about the adversity he was going to face if he didn't make shots. We didn't know the adversity was riding a bike. |
Everybody's role on the team is a lot different than a year ago. For us, right now, it's really a one-game tournament. We've got to play to the best of our ability on Friday and hopefully advance and be able to play on Saturday. |
Fifteen years ago, there would have been no way a team like George Mason could go to a Final Four. It just goes to show ... how many good players are out there. |
Flat out, the past several years -- to be totally honest -- we weren't good enough to advance. They didn't advance far enough in the tournament because maybe some of the past teams weren't built to make a deep run in the tournament. |
