Recap |  Box Score |  Notes

Head Coach Stan Joplin

"It was really heartbreaking for us tonight because this was a game on the road where we came up just short again. We had too much slippage on the defensive end and gave up too many open threes especially in the first half. You can't do that when you're on the road."

(on getting the ball inside at the end of the game but not being able to convert)

"I thought Keith should have shot the ball instead of passing it down low because he's our best player. I thought he passed up some opportunities and he has to be aggressive and get to the free throw line."

Sophomore guard Justin Ingram

(on missing a free throw at the end of the game and UT grabbing the rebound but not getting a shot off)

"We did what we wanted to do, but we just didn't get the shot. It should have never came down to that. We didn't get the stops we needed to coming down the stretch."

(on sending the game into overtime with a three-pointer)

"As the game went on they would switch so I was hoping they would all jump at Sammy (Villegas) because he's our best three-point shooter and that's what they did. I just happened to knock down the shot."
