I think our team embodies the spirit of what Coach is all about, which is teamwork, which is unselfish play, which is a commitment at both ends of the floor to play together, team defense, team offense, giving yourself up for your teammates. As we continue to win, they all get recognized.

To be down 11 at halftime (Thursday) and come out and play so well to start the second half - we have to stop doing that.

They can't wait to play. We're having fun. This is the greatest time of our lives right now.

It's just a credit to our players. Hey, they just roll with the punches. That's just a testament to their toughness and their character.

That's one of the things I think that you're going to continue to see, the George Mason run. I think they had three players that were fifth-year seniors. It's such an advantage to be older than your opponent both mentally and physically, and to have that experience of having gone through the ups and downs.

The bottom line is, we make those foul shots, Steele doesn't have that shot down the stretch.
