We haven't played as well defensively as I thought we would. We need to do a better job.

First of all, a lot of [players] go to college games. A lot of times they go to Maryland and Georgetown games. When Mason is playing [Old Dominion] or someone really good, they like to watch. This buzz has really started.

We had an opportunity to end it in overtime, but it didn't fall.

We haven't shot well from the free-throw line, we haven't shot the ball well overall. If we start shooting well, that's going to mean trouble for a lot of other teams.

If you give them an inch, they take a yard. If you want to put it in football terms.

We've just got to get better. After a week off, it's tough to come back.
