There are deserving teams. George Mason easily could have been left out of the tournament. |
There was a challenge issued between regulation and overtime and he felt like he (Williams) had something to prove. Marshall tried taking (Almond) away from the offense and Lorenzo asserted himself offensively. |
They (the Eagles) make it really hard for you to get good shots. I thought we had to be patient and do an especially good job of executing. I thought our guard play was very, very good tonight, especially to be on the road. |
They came into the game as the second-best three point shooting team in the [conference]. And when you have a team like that, you can't let them get going early. You've got to make it a little more challenging than we made it early on. |
They have been a cornerstone of all the success over the last four years. They give us a lot of energy and a lot of experience. … The thing that I'm disappointed about for those guys is that we haven't won more games. |
This is not a team that we've had the luxury to look ahead a lot this year. We've been doing so much of trying to learn how to function in the here and now that it really becomes challenging to look ahead. When you look ahead too far, it becomes a distraction. |
We had to be patient and do an especially good job of setting up the shots. We have a much better idea of where our shots are coming from. We're doing the best job of setting up our shots as we have all year. |
We were just so inconsistent, and inconsistency is a mental thing. It's the approach that you take to doing what you do, and we had a very half-hearted approach. At times it was good, but we didn't sustain it very long. |
What we learned tonight was if we just do what we do, we can play with anybody. |
