No one wants to come down here for a nail-biter. Yeah, we'd like to make the game easier. ... My life insurance agent would like for them, too. |
Obviously I'm excited about it, but at the same time I'm very realistic. For me, it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the whole season. |
One of the areas of our concern is defending the 3. We felt like we had to do a better job in the Charlotte game. They have such tremendous shooters from the perimeter. |
Our defense allowed the game to be played at a much faster pace and I think that was the difference. |
Our guys believe at some point during the game, we're going to get ya. Once we were able to get the game back within five and six, then our offense started to take over. We started to execute. We started to move the ball. |
Our guys just believe that at some point, we're going to get you. |
Our intensity was terrific. I thought we forced them to have to play the way we wanted them to play. They had been able to dictate their style of play against everyone and we wanted to make sure that they had to play the way we wanted them to play. |

Our program is based on developing players. Our players have improved physically and in every area of the game since they've been here. We don't get the kind of players I could recruit at Connecticut, so we have to rely on developing them. We do as good a job as anybody in the country at developing players. |
Since I've been at George Washington the last five years, he's made the biggest progress in terms of maturity and development. He's a special guy. He came up big. |
Teams are funny. Sometimes you take two steps forward and take a step back. And you take four steps ahead and two steps back. I am trying to get to the point where we are not taking any steps back in any area. |
Temple played a fantastic game. The elder statesman (Temple coach John Chaney) really showed that he knows how to get his team up and he knows how to prepare them for an important basketball game. They did a terrific job not allowing us to score. |
Temple played a fantastic game. The elder statesman showed that he still knows how to get a team up and prepared to win a basketball game. |
Thank God he did slip through the cracks. To me, it's about the sacrifice a single mother had to make to see her son on Senior Day and no mother should have to be subjected to (the article) when her son is succeeding academically. |
That we had improved from last year. The program is improving every year, and that was an indication that we had improved it. This year, we improved our status. |
