When the argument began as to whether we belonged, it created the underdog image for us. Quite frankly, I loved it. Everybody loves the David and Goliath story, but most of the time nobody cheers for Goliath. So when people asked me if I resented what Jim and Billy said, I said, 'Absolutely not, I loved it.' Because it motivated our guys and it created interest. So much so that we've become a media darling.
More Quotes from Jim Larranaga:
I've never criticized a single George Mason player. I've told them the truth and they interpret it sometimes as criticism. But I'm just being honest with them. If someone's messing up during practice, I just tell 'em. If they want to consider that something other than helpful hints, that's just the way it is.Jim Larranaga
When the argument came as to whether or not we belonged, quite frankly I loved it. I think everybody loves the David and Goliath story. But most of the time, no one cheers for Goliath. No matter who we faced, it was going to be something that we were expected to lose. It was something that it motivated our guys.

The first time I saw Lamar play at Oxon Hill High School, he lit it up from the 3-point line. I went and watched him in a Charlie Webber event over at the University of Maryland. He had 36 points, and he only took like 12 shots. They were all 3s, and he made them all, or at least it seemed that way to me.

I felt I had to share Idaho with my friend from New York because he'd shared New York with me, so I was going to share the beauty of nature with a man who went to museums and clubs late at night. But there was nothing to do where I lived at night.
