I think this is probably the best team we've played in the first round the last three years. |
I thought Christian was really a great player tonight. He was real aggressive, real active and real focused on what he had to do. |
I thought they were supposed to pick teams, not conferences. Last year, the Big West got two (berths) because we deserved to go and Utah State won the tournament. This year, they were almost over fair. Utah State and Air Force had to be bubble teams, and if you have four or five bubble teams, you pick two and two or three don't get in. Cincinnati should have gotten in, but Syracuse ended up winning the (Big East) tournament. The Big East still got eight teams in. Cincinnati kicked itself out. |
I thought this was the first game all year that I thought we deserved to win. I thought we did a great job. I think we brought our toughness to the table, and we just had a few things slip through our fingers. |
I thought this was the first game all year we deserved to win and didn't. |
I won't know if it was a foul until I see it. I hope it was a good foul and not one of those other kinds of fouls. |
I'll have nothing but great memories. They're awesome, and they've had a great run. They've taken our program to a new level, and we'll never forget them. |
I'm going to tell Anthony he's playing Davis every night. He played very well. |
I'm proud as heck of our team, and we're just disappointed we don't have a chance to go on. |
I'm proud of our guys. We've put ourselves in a position to do what we want to do. |
I've always said you might not ever see a mid-major go to the Final Four. When a mid-major wins a game, especially if it's not a good seed, if they play a powerhouse, getting to the Sweet 16 is like going to the Elite Eight. Going to the Elite Eight is like going to the Final Four, so George Mason has already won the national championship. If they win the next two games, they'll have won the world championship. They'll have to give them a gold medal. |
If it's on ESPN, I'll start at midnight. I don't care. It was the No. 1 featured game, the only game going on at that time. It was late for the East Coast, but people on the East Coast watched, got a chance to see us. |
If they beat us, they'll probably have the league pretty well in hand. |
If they ever do, they've got to take my picture from about 20 years ago when I was kind of thin. I don't want a fat statue out there. |
In some cases they do a good job, and in some cases they don't do a very good job. The commissioner of the WAC just has too much say in what's going on. |
