Folarin Campbell Quotations

Uh, something about going the extra mile and not worrying about traffic, I think.

Like coach said, we just go out there and have fun. We're all calm, poised and we make sure we have fun. I mean, basketball was made to have fun. So, if you ain't having fun, you're not going to perform.

Me and Will (Thomas) got some early shots at the beginning of the game and we made most of them. If we can make shots at the beginning of the game it builds our confidence up. We just carried that confidence into the second half.

My final three schools were Providence, Georgetown and George Mason.

But we play great defense. I knew we could do it in overtime.

He thanked me for what we had done for the school. I couldn't believe that.

He's been great. Against Michigan State, he was cheering us on because he didn't want to end the season with what happened. He came back against North Carolina and played a great game.

Just 'cause we're Cinderella doesn't mean we'll go all the way. We just came up a little short today.

Regardless of the attention, all four teams are going to come out here and give it their all.

Nah, nah. Coach L doesn't yell. He gets mad. But he'd rather not yell. Sometimes he'll raise his voice, but not to the point of yelling.

I was the one checking him, and they had made shots in my face the whole game. On that last shot, I wasn't sure if he was going to try to go to the hole or pull it back for the 3. When he pulled up for that jumper, I put a hand in his face and was just hoping and praying it was going off.

We proved we can play with anybody. We proved we don't back down from anybody.

We have all the potential in the world. With John Vaughan coming back and our bench, we can be a good team.

We just didn't play a good game. We started flat, and Florida jumped on us hard. The whole game, we didn't have our 'A' game. Florida took advantage of that.

We play for 40 minutes. We didn't take any minute off.

We didn't play our A game and Florida took advantage of that. They played an awesome game.

When I was young, I wanted to either play for a big school or play against one. We get our opportunity tomorrow, so this is our chance to show the nation how good of a conference and how good of a team we are.

Everywhere we go, people are shouting at us, asking us for our autographs. Honestly, I feel like a celebrity right now.

We just wanted to come out and punch them in the face. North Carolina did the same thing to us. I was wide open so I took the shots and they went in.

We lost by 20. Our defense was terrible.

We have to contain their big guys. They are really strong inside. We have been working on mimicking their shots and staying out of foul trouble.

I've been working on my jump shots and it's been paying off.

Coach L has his own way of coaching. When we played North Carolina, I saw Roy Williams slam a chair down. I can only assume what he does in practice. I don't need all that.

Anything is possible. If you believe in yourself, it can be your destiny, and we proved that.

It's been so easy. With (defenses) doubling down on Will and Jai, we're left wide open.

Everybody has to pick their game up. I felt it was on myself to come out and take some shots. It's been paying off, and we've seen it paying off in games.

I've been working on my jump shot lately, just going into the gym and trying to work on it and it's been paying off. These last couple of games I've been hitting big threes. At the beginning of the game I was left wide open and I just took the shot and they just happened to fall.

They were playing defense down low so it really left the middle wide open. So I decided just to attack.

I mean, basketball was made to have fun.

I had never heard about Mason until my junior year when they started recruiting me.

I just tried to make sure to hit my open shots.

I know it. We wanted a better ending to our story, but it had to end some way.

I never thought it would get this far. Just making the tournament was a great season.

I just take it as that's ammunition for us. For a player to say that they are going to roll over us, we're not going to respond. We're just going to go out there and show it on the court.

Campus is amazing. I actually went to the Johnson Center, our cafeteria (on Monday), and people were just happy. They're congratulating me.

All I hear is Jordan this, Jordan that, where's Jordan; Can I talk to Jordan, so I know my boy Jordan's enjoying this.
