Mark Turgeon Team Quotations

I just kept telling the guys, 'I don't know whose team that is out there, but it's not us on offense,'... Four of them holding their their hands up and one guy going one-on-one -- it was a little frustrating.

Our kids really stepped up on the defensive end. It was just a great team effort on both ends of the floor.

I have been saying three or four teams the whole time. The last couple of days, we've gotten so much publicity that it's almost been negative.

You never know what kind of competition you'll have (for MVP), but usually the teams at the top have a chance to be MVP. I always felt he had a chance to be one of the better centers in the league.

If you look over the (statistic) sheets of our last few games, it's been that way. We've worked on it all year, trying to get them to pass the ball and use each other. They really did that well tonight. This was a great team game.

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.

Last year I think we wanted to be part of the NCAA Tournament so badly we didn't worry about the things that we could control, which is making our team better. That's what we're doing this year.

It was very frustrating to see us play like that. I told our guys that I didn't know who that team was out there tonight ? four guys standing around while one guy went one-on-one. We didn't play our game.

We're 2-0 and we took care of our home court. This league is loaded. (Bradley) looked like a pro team out there.

This team has figured out how to win games.

It's been a great ride. On Selection Sunday our name pops up there, and six days later we're in the Sweet 16. Things change quick. But we're the same level-headed team that went into the tournament last weekend.
