coach great win
They've got great players. Mac's a great coach, but you don't win without great players.
creeps goes handle talk
It's just something that doesn't go away. Sometimes you talk about selfishness and it goes away. This one, it creeps back in and you have to handle it again. I'm on them all the time.
best switched
It wasn't our best possession. They switched out and we couldn't get it to him ... we panicked.
badly city fans gorilla taken
It's like a a gorilla has been taken off my back because the fans and the city wanted it so badly because it has been 23 years. This is what we all wanted.
best dollars extra few gotten guys officials thousand top
It's a lot of guys we had that were our top officials that just went away because they could make 6, 7, 800 dollars more going to a different league. Our league's gotten so much better. There's so much at stake. You don't want to, for a few extra thousand dollars, not do what's best for your league.
amazing call fans heard maybe valley
I've heard from a lot of people. It's amazing how many Valley fans have called. And he doesn't call anybody. Maybe his wife.
came credit gates george hurt led mason played selection shot sweet
I want to give George Mason a lot of credit. They came out of the gates hot, and that was the difference. That said, I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play the way that led us to the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us.
announce assistant calls coaches last phone soon
The last thing I want to do is take 25 more phone calls from assistant coaches (looking for a job). When I get an assistant coach, I'm going to announce it as soon as I can.
against darned hard last open shot year
They're better than they were last year and then they were pretty darned good. It's hard to get an open shot against them.
anybody athletic battle blow definitely gonna guard jump taller together
They're gonna be taller more athletic than we are, and they can jump a little higher. We're definitely not flashy. . . . We try to guard and rebound, just try to play together on the other end. We don't blow anybody out. Everything is a battle for us.
aggressive
They were aggressive when we were on our heels.
bad battle constantly fun game hard race says year
The four-way race has been fun. It says a lot about our league. There are no bad teams. Every game is hard and you can't take anything for granted. It's been a challenging year for everybody. You don't get a day off. You are constantly going from one battle to the next.
closing cover four good ground guy might minutes playing running shot sudden turned
The first four minutes we got any shot we wanted. Then they turned it up. The thing about SIU... is you might think it's a good look and then all of a sudden there's a guy running at you and closing and playing it and with unbelievable effort. The ground that they cover is just amazing.
continuing expect focus guys mean practice stay
The guys have been pretty shielded from it. I expect practice to go well and our focus to stay where it is. I don't see us changing. That doesn't mean we're going to play great. But I expect us to because we're continuing to practice well.
