Any time you're the conference champion, you get probably more votes for your players. As it should be.

I'm so happy for our guys. Any time you win a championship it's special.

Last time I checked, Larry Brown started in college, for example, and he might be one of the top coaches.

They can't wait to play. We're having fun. This is the greatest time of our lives right now.

It's just a credit to our players. Hey, they just roll with the punches. That's just a testament to their toughness and their character.

That's one of the things I think that you're going to continue to see, the George Mason run. I think they had three players that were fifth-year seniors. It's such an advantage to be older than your opponent both mentally and physically, and to have that experience of having gone through the ups and downs.
