Head Coach Stan Joplin:
"We wanted to get our energy from our defense. We thought if we could defend them and keep them off the boards that we would have a shot. We also didn't want them to get the ball down low in the paint because their big guys are pretty good. That was probably the best defensive effort and intensity we've had in a long time."
"We had everything clicking for the first 10 or 15 minutes and then we started playing like we were behind. We started taking ill-advised shots and were trying to make plays that weren't there."
"It was crucial for us to come out with a win. We've had some good practices and the players were really focused. It was a great shot in the arm for us especially against a team like Kansas State from the Big 12."
