The second half was a back-and-forth basketball game. Give Arkansas credit. They made some plays and their kids played hard and I thought it was a great college basketball game that both teams had a chance to win at times.

There might be some truth to (more pressure playing close to home). Kids say, 'There's so many people there I want to do so well,' so that can happen. If you're out in San Diego you're just kind of playing. (But) I don't think these guys will feel that way -- I hope they don't.

I know a lot of people are so excited for George Mason. It's great for college basketball. Believe me, I'm mesmerized.
|
I was shocked and happy that we were tied.

The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying.

We give teams too much respect sometimes, ... We wanted to come out and put them under pressure. If they were good enough to beat it and get out of it, fine, but I didn't think they would be and sure enough getting the ball behind them, getting fouls and putting them in uncomfortable positions and next you know you're in control of the game.

We qualified, and that is great. But let us get better over the next seven months. It does not mean you relax. Guys that get a chance to play now should prove that they belong. And that makes the depth of our team better.

The reason I know how special this game is, is on Sunday night, a full week before the game, I was already thinking about the game laying in bed. And I never do that. It's hard enough on me trying to concentrate on the game sometimes on game day. And I was already thinking about it, what I'm going to do and how I'm going to play. How it's going to feel when we win. That says it all.

Our goal is to continue progressing in the World Cup,
|
If you look at the teams, there's clearly a lot of firepower,
|
I hope we can do it. It would be the best possible ending to our qualifying.
|
It was a wake-up call in Germany. Watching it was really frustrating. I just think our spirit needs to be better and that we are better than that.
|
Always educate yourself.
|
Literally from the first minute, they went down, ... They wanted to make a big drama out of the game.
|
We're getting our rings, it's opening night and it's going to be exciting. It's our job to win the game and send everybody home happy.
|
I expected more from them. At least for the next three or four years, they'll shut up. They can't say anything.
