Jim Larranaga Quotes on Time (7 Quotes)


    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.

    Familiarity is always important. One of the key elements to our great game in the NCAA first round in 2001 when we faced a very strong Maryland team was that our players had faced those guys during the summer - and so there was not a fear factor. We are hoping that will hold true this time.

    These kids are human. They've played as consistently and as well as they're capable for an extremely long time.

    We're having a hell of a good time. Having that kind of support is tremendous. The whole D.C. metro area has adopted us. We're all just loving it.

    Our players had faced those guys in the summer so there was not a huge fear factor. We hope that will hold true this time.


    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.

    For us at this time, it was the very best possible scenario. When you're looking at the CAA hoping for a second or even a third bid to the NCAA tournament, playing highly ranked teams is the key. Beating them is the answer.
