To be out there in front of that many people, I see why they have an open practice. If we went out there seeing that many people for the game, we'd be shocked. |
We are all business when we are on the floor. |
We heard what all the critics said. But we knew we were capable of playing with anybody in the country. Our confidence level has just risen. And we're showing the country what we're capable of. |
We knew they were going to make their run. We also knew we were going to make our run. |
We wanted to set the tone with our defense and we did. They never recovered from our quick start. |
We weren't nervous. We were just out there having fun. We weren't worried about the crowd or anything. We were just playing basketball. |
We weren't supposed to beat Michigan State, and we beat them. We weren't supposed to beat North Carolina, and we sure weren't supposed to beat Connecticut. So I think we're going to just stick with the script. If folks want to call us a Cinderella, then that's OK. |
We're capable of playing with anyone in the country, and we just needed the chance to show that. |
We're so deep in this tournament right now, it's like we just can't be satisfied. We want to celebrate but just got to hold on to that and keep playing basketball. |
We've affected people. Even if you don't know basketball, you know George Mason basketball. It's bigger than basketball. |
We've been trying to prove ourselves all year. We heard what the critics were saying -- that we didn't belong in the tournament. The confidence level has risen, and we've gotten a chance to show the country what we're capable of. |
We've done something tremendous for college basketball. |
We've kind of used that to our advantage a little bit because we're capable of playing with anybody in the country. The stage we're on now is our opportunity to show everybody we can play. We'll just stick to it and run with it. |
Well, being from our conference, I know they're rooting for us, anyway. |
When I was younger, deep down in my heart I knew this was what I wanted to do. Being around those guys, it kind of made me hungry and turned me into the player I am now. |
