The first game, magic can happen, and that's what we've got to focus on. We're going to have to win multiple games, that's for sure. |
The racism is systemic in those places where it remains. |
The story of the game was our inability to make shots. |
The story of the game was our inability to make shots. I didn't get a feel that we were out of our rhythm offensively. We just couldn't get it to go in. |
Their backcourt guys kind of dominate the ball, and their offense is run in such a way that, in the end, the right guy is going to take the shot. When they make 3s like they did against Boston College, they become pretty lethal. |
Their defense was very good. They didn't give us anything easy in the second half. |
There are deserving teams. George Mason could easily have been left out of the tournament. Obviously, they're a deserving team. If you expand it, you decrease the possibility of leaving out more deserving teams. |
There are going to be nights where we struggle from the field. But I'm a big believer in those things evening themselves out. They'll get it going. |
There is disappointment and frustration any time you go out early in your conference tournament, a tournament we felt good about doing very well in. But we still have an opportunity to play for an outstanding championship. |
There's no question that they are living up to preseason accolades about how good they could be. But at the same time, they're playing a lot of close games, like everybody else in the league. |
There's no way they should be ducking in there like that against us. |
They are playing about as well as anybody in our league. We can't afford to have a hangover or letdown or second thoughts about the Wake Forest game. It's over. |
They certainly are hitting their stride and living up to preseason expectations. What makes them so good is the wealth of experience they have. |
They shot 57 percent in the first half and in the second half, every big basket that they had to have, we had a defensive breakdown. I don't think we were mentally or physically sharp tonight and as a result Elon, a club that's been kind of laying in wait ... coming in fresh, shoots the ball well and gets out of here with a win. |
They're at home and they've got a little momentum going or certainly looking to get some. From that standpoint, it will be a tough game. Obviously, they beat us at home. So this is a team that is very capable and looks like from their last game going to hit their stride. |
