Dan D'Antoni, head coach
Opening Statement
"I want to thank the town, state, and nearby areas for being here it was an atmosphere that I was used to playing here, it's a lot of fun. I think it was good our kids got a chance to get in there and experience this, I think this will make us a better team."
On the final play of the game
"You can't go back and look at whether it was a foul or not, they were just looking to see if the ball went off his hands, and I'm sure it probably did, question is whether the foul occurred and where the calls at. That I don't know, they are doing the best they can. I thought Stevie went down, I thought that was a little bit clearer, sometimes that happens."
On what gave the team the most problems
"Inside, we gave up a lot of where they were back picking, we weren't getting ready earlier enough, we have to work on all of our bigs, but mostly we have to work on one to get over there, defenses play early rather than late, and if you're late and it hits you, then with a team that executes, it's going to be too late."
Jon Elmore, sophomore guard
On today's game
"It was tough. I thought we played really well down the stretch. We kept fighting until the end and things just did not go our way. Next time, if it comes down to the wire hopefully we will pull out the win."
On the atmosphere today
"This is probably the best crowd that I have played in front of. The fans were amazing today and I thought it helped us."
Ryan Taylor, junior forward
On the ending of the game
"It threw us off our rhythm a bit but we just have to keep our heads up and continue to fight."
