Taurean Green Team Quotations

He was unbelievable; he's been there all year, but all this just goes to prove what we started at the beginning of the season. I even told my dad before the season started that we would do special things because we would play team basketball.

We've faced a lot of good teams. But this team starts four guards, and I think this team has the best guard lineup we have ever played against. We're just looking forward to the opportunity, and we'll be ready to play tomorrow.

I think it can turn a game. I think it lifts our team up.

It didn't really matter who we played. We don't see it as revenge from last year; we don't see it as payback because this year's team is a different team. They're a different team. We do different stuff, they do different stuff.

When they block shots, when they get a dunk and when they just do what they do, it fires the whole team up. Just doing what they do, I think it can turn a game. I think it lifts our team.

This whole team should be the MVP. Everybody stepped up big for us (this weekend) and it was a total team effort.

Everybody on every team is beat-up physically. Now it's about the mind. Who wants it more?

After that (Alabama) game we had a team meeting. I think everybody looked at themselves and everybody bought into what will win games. I think we've done a good job listening to coaches and just going out and executing the game plan and just playing smart.

That's every player's dream, to get to the Final Four. That's what you play college basketball for. We have an opportunity to get there, but we have to play a good team first.

All good stories have to come to an end. George Mason is a good team but we came here with a mission to win a national championship.

We don't see it as revenge or payback. This year's team is a different team.
