Lee Humphrey Game Quotations

I don't feel like we were the bad guys. We knew George Mason was a good team. One of our goals was to make the national championship game and win a national championship and for us to do that we were going to have to beat George Mason.

I think you just have to get used to it. You try to get as many shots in warm-ups and shoot-around the day before. When the game starts, you don't really think about the background. You focus on the basket, what you need to do to help your team win.

Road trips are pretty much the same. Coach keeps a tight rein on us. We never leave the hotel. Every game this whole year we've prepared for the same way as we have these tournament games. We watch film on every team, watch film at every meal and have a shoot-around. Coach does a good job. That's probably why he does it early on.

It was very exciting for me to meet Peyton. I don't know how much that translated into the game today, but I was shooting it well.

South Carolina really burned us from the three-point line. We went into practice the next day and coach really stressed the three-point line and what a game changer it can be.

That's happened to some teams this year, too. Texas was ranked No. 2, and they lost to Tennessee. But we just need to focus on what we need to focus on. We know that every game we play, whoever we play, they have a chance to beat us, especially from this point on in the year.

This might be a game where I have to rely on my dribble a little bit more, to try to get around pressure and create opportunities.

It's a great way to describe how we need to do things. We need to come every game like we have something to prove.

I don't know (how anyone will). The way they've been playing, they're tough to stop. They play so well together. They understand the game and they know their strengths. They're just tenacious.
