Mark Turgeon Good Quotations

Our guards are starting to play better. We are capable of shooting it. We have good shooters.

I think it takes a significant amount of doing well in the NCAA Tournament before it changes your recruiting. But hopefully we'll get lucky over the next six months and get some good players.

We were going to have to play an awfully good game to win here. We knew that. We know how good George Mason is.

We feel good because of where we are. We'd much rather be one game ahead with two to go. Drake really challenges you and they're good at home. They've played everybody really tough in that building.

We've got good players, and I thought we were in a pod we were very capable of winning if we played well.

I knew we had good players. But for this group to do what it has been doing has been a pleasant surprise.

If you look strictly at the RPI, it looks good for us.

I kept saying we weren't any good when practice started, and now we're part of the Sweet 16. We just keep getting a little bit better.

The first four minutes we got any shot we wanted. Then they turned it up. The thing about SIU... is you might think it's a good look and then all of a sudden there's a guy running at you and closing and playing it and with unbelievable effort. The ground that they cover is just amazing.

You don't want to notice them. You don't notice the really good ones. Those guys ref the game the way it's supposed to be called. Simple as that.

It's a big win because of the way we won. That wasn't our style of game. I told them at halftime that we're not very good at football, but we've got to play football. We had to be strong and go at the basket.
