Quotes from the Marshall/Wright State game on December 13.
Mark Dorris on Coach Jirsa at the half
"He told us to leave it out there. By the time we hit the locker room floor, it all need to be left out there."
As a team, we're here together. Win together, lose together, we have each others' back.
Markel Humphrey
"Coach tells me to be aggressive. I was open around the basket, drew some fouls, and finished strong."
Wright State coach Brad Brownell
"A tale of two halves - except the second half was bad for us. I give credit to coach Jirsa and his team. They gained confidence and their players stepped up and pulled out a victory.""
"When we lost our lead, I told the team the game is fine, but from the 11 to five minute mark, we lost it."
"I'm proud the team didn't cave in down the stretch, but you can't dismiss those bad minutes. They got nervous and missed some plays.
Marshall coach Ron Jirsa
"I was happy to see us come back and win with some excitement."
"The players did a good job getting to their spots on the press and that's how we got back in it."
"This is an important time for us. We played like we were in practice; we were going after each other. We need to go out there now and go after another team."
On Markel Humphrey's play
"He needs to be that aggressive. He is our go to guy."
