Having that kind of support from our student body and from the community, the George Mason community and the Fairfax community, even the whole D.C. Metro Area has kind of adopted this team. We're all just loving it.
More Quotes from Jim Larranaga:
Familiarity is always important. One of the key elements to our great game in the NCAA first round in 2001 when we faced a very strong Maryland team was that our players had faced those guys during the summer - and so there was not a fear factor. We are hoping that will hold true this time.Jim Larranaga
I think it certainly has helped us. Each of our seniors is actually in their fifth year. . . . they are older guys and I certainly think their maturity and experience help us. It helped us throughout this season and particularly in the NCAA run.

That's going to be the big question. I'm not sure where we are mentally right now. This is not a a team that is tournament-tested. It's been five years, so none of these guys have had that experience. That's a major factor.

I thought that was the best offensive segment we had, where the guys were recognizing what they were looking for and either scoring or finding the open man. But we never did get into that in the second half.

We came in as an at-large (bid), when we got to the 'Sweet 16' we were an extra at-large and by beating Connecticut, we'll be a double extra at-large. After 20 years of trying, I'm honored to be taking my own team to the Final Four.

This past season was not an end, but it is the beginning of more great things to come. Our returning players have already begun to prepare for next season and are confident they can create more great memories for our Mason nation.
