I was just so proud and so happy. I can't even tell you.

I do think we got some scrutiny that we didn't deserve. We're really proud of what we've done. We weren't going to let a bunch of people around the country who haven't seen us tell us any different.

He was the only kid that could make a shot. I was begging the guys, 'Give Sean shots.' It was hard to get him shots. When Sean banked the shot in, I really thought we were going to win. But they were just too good.

We didn't establish Paul or Kyle. We were almost 10 minutes into the game and (George Mason) didn't have a team foul. We've gone through Paul all year, and we didn't do that tonight.

They hit shots, and we didn't during that stretch. We had two wide-open threes and missed them both.

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.
