We have entered a stage right now in college basketball where 15 years ago, it would have been maybe totally no way George Mason could go to the Final Four. It just goes to show how many good coaches there are out there, how many good players there are out there. On any given night, anybody can beat anybody.
More Quotes from Billy Donovan:
Sometimes it's crazy what these games come down to. It's a play here, a bounce of the ball there. I've been on both sides of it.Billy Donovan
It was very gratifying to see our kids repeatedly come back and respond down the stretch. Noah was great. He blocked shots. I thought our big guys were very active.
Billy Donovan
We're blocking more shots than we have in the last several years, but I don't think as a coaching staff we're saying this is a point of emphasis for our defense. We don't want to be a team that's just jumping up in the air trying to block shots because there are a lot of things that happen that are not good if you don't block it. So we just have to be selective.

The greatest equalizer in college basketball -- it doesn't make a difference about talent or who's better than who -- is the three-point line.
Billy Donovan
Chris has seen himself improve and get better. And I think that is a tribute to him really making some great strides as a person in terms of his work ethic, in terms of competing, in terms of understanding what we want as coaches.
Billy Donovan
This team, starting the season, I felt had all the team makeup. Unselfishness. They wanted to learn, they wanted to work, they wanted to get better. I didn't know if we'd have the experience to win basketball games or enough basketball games because we'd never been there before.
