Not many teams shoot 48 percent (on threes) against us.

Hats off to Florida. They played at a very high level. The greater the expectation, the greater the pressure, the more likely you will fall short. We'll just continue to be who we are and believe in the things we do.

I don't think you want to create the expectation, now that George Mason has done it — they've broken the barrier, so to speak — now everybody else should be expected to do that. That would be the wrong message.

I thought we'd play a good game. I'm shocked we weren't in the game with 3 or 4 minutes left.

One of the greatest parts about this trip was that we didn't put any pressure on ourselves. No one placed any expectations on us--except for us. Nobody can ever enjoy the ride like we just did.

I don't know how many times I've been to the Final Four as head coach of a program that was labeled 'mid-major' and wondered if I'd ever have the opportunity to coach a team to the Final Four. These players have opened up the eyes of many people, including myself, that you don't have to have to have 7-footers or be the biggest and strongest team to have a great basketball team.

We came into the game feeling very good about our chances. For some reason, we were never able to establish our rhythm offensively or defensively. And Florida's ability to get so many second shots really hurt us. Then their great start took over the game in the second half.

Not until I looked up at the clock and there were under two minutes left. It was at 14 or 15 did I realize, 'Gee, we're not going to have a shot at this.' All through the second half, I thought at some point we'd start going into a nice offensive rhythm of inside-outside, taking the ball to the basket.

Our players have opened up the eyes of many people that you don't have to have 7-footers on your team or be the biggest and strongest team to have a great team. There are a lot of great coaches out there who aren't totally appreciated because they couldn't get to the Final Four. We're especially proud to represent all those mid-majors who aspire to get here.

Not many teams shoot 48 percent [from the 3-point line] against us.

When we took the floor, I was still feeling that way. But a few minutes into the game, we did not show that natural rhythm that we had the last few weeks at both ends of the floor.

We never did get things going on the perimeter. They certainly did.

In the first few minutes of the game, we didn't show that natural rhythm we had the last few games. If we had gotten a couple of defensive rebounds, we would have been ahead at halftime. Then it's a different game.

I'm especially proud to represent, if we do, all those mid-majors and low-majors who aspire to get here one day. But I am still very concerned that rather than this be something that everyone can look at and enjoy and get excited about, (there's an) expectation now that George Mason has done it, they've broken the barrier, so to speak, now everybody else should be expected to do that.

I think the underclassmen will return with a determination to be as good as we can be next year. Whether that takes us to the Final Four, who knows? The greater the expectation, the greater the pressure, the more likely you fall short. We'll just continue to be who we are and believe in the things we do, try to be the best we can.
