happens hoping next night playing total
We're getting there. We still haven't had a night where everyone is playing their total A-game. But that's OK. I'm hoping that happens next weekend.
foul game
I thought we had the game won. The foul on the 3-point jumper, I don't know man. It didn't look like it was much.
anyone good half seen since
That was as good a first half as I've seen anyone play since I've been at Hofstra.
guy lock win
There is no one guy where we say that if we lock him up we'll win the game.
george kick rooting
We're rooting for George Mason. I'm really getting a kick out of it.
good guys motivate people prove
I don't think it will take very much to motivate our guys and let them know that now we have to go prove to people how good we are.
win
We may try to win it without them.
basketball caught good hard third time whether
I don't get caught up in that. I just know it's hard to be a good basketball team, whether it's the first or third time you play them.

Four years ago there were a lot of people who thought we were never going to get it going here again. Now the burden falls on next year's group.
year
This was a building-block year for us. We can only get better from here.

We had to go to the rope-a-dope a while, kind of get ourselves back in the fight, but they didn't knock us out, and I'm proud of that.
allowed couple expect plays
We made a couple of bonehead plays late, things we don't expect out of our veterans, and that allowed them back in the game.
apparently below game high hit played shame
Loren is hurting, and he was apparently hit below the belt. If that happened, it's a shame in a game played at such a high level.
among bring coaches guys overseas players
Many of them are among the better players in the conference. You don't see coaches going overseas to bring back guys who aren't going to play. They have to be high-level players.
