A lot people said their defense is down this year. I didn't see that. They caused us to turn the ball over and miss some shots that we usually make.

If you didn't know anything about G.W. basketball, you'd be surprised.

No matter what we say, we're playing Duke. It's a big thing for us.

It was kind of funny because he is the ugliest cheerleader I have seen. We are definitely missing Pops on the floor. We are just going to try to keep winning so he can come back and play another one.

It never stops. He brings everybody up. When guys are down, he is the first one to put a smile on your face. When you are around him, you always have to keep an eye on him to see what he will do next. He is just so funny. He's a comedian. If basketball doesn't work out, he might have something in comedy.

They put a great amount of pressure on us. They did what we like to do to people (defensively). We really weren't comfortable out there and they took advantage of it.

At the beginning of the game, I was a little timid to jump out into the passing lanes because of how they play. Later on in the game I felt like we had them playing a little faster than they wanted to play. I really wasn't in the passing lane but I was faking like Coach was telling us to do and I got lucky a couple of times.

We have nothing to be disappointed about. We put Foggy Bottom on the map.

We can't control who the area loves. We only control what goes on between those white lines.

I think the fact that Pops wasn't out there was really our rallying point because Pops is such a valuable part of this team mentally, physically and emotionally.
