Their ability to contest shots made it difficult to get the kind of 3-pointers we'd been getting.
One of the things about being in an environment like this, even though there's so much going on around us, we're really not distracted by it. We're having so much fun, it's not like we're in a situation where we're nervous or have any kind of fear.
This team is having a hell of a lot of fun. This team is loose and excited about playing basketball.
When the argument came as to whether or not we belonged, quite frankly I loved it. I think everybody loves the David and Goliath story. But most of the time, no one cheers for Goliath. No matter who we faced, it was going to be something that we were expected to lose. It was something that it motivated our guys.
Having that kind of support from our student body and from the community, the George Mason community and the Fairfax community, even the whole D.C. Metro Area has kind of adopted this team. We're all just loving it.
Having the kind of support we received tonight, and what we've been getting since we started this tournament, we're all just loving it. It helped us get off to a great start.
We're having so much fun, it's not like we're in a situation where we're nervous or have any kind of fear. These guys have played basketball their whole lives. They enjoy being with each other and enjoy executing the plan on the court. And as long as we can just continue to do that, anything is possible.
The Elite Eight. That sounds awfully good.
Our league didn't get the respect that we know we deserved.
