I've really enjoyed being at George Mason since the day I arrived. To leave here, it would take something very unusual. I feel like this is home for me and my family. |
I've said all along that they're two of the smartest post players I've ever been around. They really know the game. They're both skilled at what a post player needs to be skilled in. |
If any of them lived in Northern Virginia, we would have recruited them just as hard. I don't know why, but there are a lot of good players in Maryland who have shown interest in us. There were a lot of very good players in Northern Virginia we wanted, but for some reason they didn't have an interest in us. |
If we win tomorrow, Roy will be mad at recommending Scott seven years ago. I was at the Nike camp, and I was ? standing behind Roy Williams and asked him to recommend somebody. He said 'I'm not sure he's available, but I think Scott Cherry is the guy you're looking for.' I was looking for a point guard, a leader, somebody who knew how to run a team. |
In the first few minutes of the game, we didn't show that natural rhythm we had the last few games. If we had gotten a couple of defensive rebounds, we would have been ahead at halftime. Then it's a different game. |
Is anybody else having fun? |
It didn't matter what game it was, what time of year it was, what was at stake. |
It didn't matter what time of year, what type of game. We have a very simple philosophy ? that players behave in a first-class manner. When that occurred, I went back, I looked at Tony and I said, ?Did you hit him?' And I could just tell by the expression on his face that he had done something that I deemed to be inappropriate behavior. |
It has brought us all together as a campus. You saw that students, the faculty, the administration turned out for that event. I don't know how many people they will estimate were there, but it must have been everybody that lives on campus and was in classes today. It's just a thrill. |
It has grown from a small commuter school of about 2,000 to 3,000 to now a beautiful school, gorgeous campus, great facilities, fantastic faculty. . . . We're located in Fairfax, in the beautiful rolling hills of Northern Virginia, two miles from Washington, D.C., the capital of our nation. |
It kind of started to snowball last year when the Missouri Valley got multiple bids. Quite frankly, I think the coaches in our league saw that and said we can do that, too. |
It means an awful lot to the university and it means an awful lot to me because I know what it does for the university, not only in the short run, but in the long run. |
It means an awful lot to the university, and it means an awful lot to me. |
It was like a professor asking a class and nobody wanted to answer. |
It was more like a teacher talking to his students about an upcoming test, He just sat on a chair and crossed his legs. |
