Mark Turgeon Shot Quotations

I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play together. We didn't play the way that led us to a league championship and the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us in the first half.

He was the only kid that could make a shot. I was begging the guys, 'Give Sean shots.' It was hard to get him shots. When Sean banked the shot in, I really thought we were going to win. But they were just too good.

Our shot selection hurt us in the first half, hurt our defense, and that was really disappointing.

Our shot selection hurt us in the first half. After that I thought we (gave) a valiant effort.

I couldn't get them under control in the first half. I just couldn't. They thought if they made a shot it would count as nine points.

Our execution was really, really good, especially in the second half. We only took three bad shots the whole game. We really played unselfish.

The first four minutes we got any shot we wanted. Then they turned it up. The thing about SIU... is you might think it's a good look and then all of a sudden there's a guy running at you and closing and playing it and with unbelievable effort. The ground that they cover is just amazing.

I want to give George Mason a lot of credit. They came out of the gates hot, and that was the difference. That said, I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play the way that led us to the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us.

The difference in the game was that it 50 to 50, and they hit shots and we didn't during that stretch. Jacobson made some tough, tough shots.

They're better than they were last year and then they were pretty darned good. It's hard to get an open shot against them.

You never forget a night like that, senior night and a guy hitting a shot at the buzzer.
