Mark Turgeon Played Quotations

I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play together. We didn't play the way that led us to a league championship and the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us in the first half.

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 played like we've been here 20 years in a row.

We played like we've been here 20 years in a row. You never expect a game to be this easy, especially this time of the year.

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

Our execution was really, really good, especially in the second half. We only took three bad shots the whole game. We really played unselfish.

If you look at the numbers, we almost played a perfect half offensively. It took that, because I thought Tennessee played at a high, high level (Saturday). I thought they played really good. Our guys just wanted it.

I want to give George Mason a lot of credit. They came out of the gates hot, and that was the difference. That said, I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play the way that led us to the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us.

It's just a basketball game. It's just played in a bigger arena with more people watching.
