My hat goes off to David Gomez and Quincy Davis, both of whom kept fighting the last 20 minutes of the ball game. I thought that our guys were great teammates tonight. ... In order for us to continue to win, we need David and Quincy to play the way they did in the second half.
The thing that I saw was two or three of our guys had a chance at intercepting the ball, but they didn't do it. I don't know if they ran into each other or if they tipped the ball, but we didn't knock the pass down or intercept it.
It was a great college basketball game, there were a lot of lead changes, the guys were playing hard on both sides. We got back in the game and we had a chance to win it. You have to give UNO credit, they played their hearts out. My guys played well; each team had chances.
They are the most athletic team we're going to play all year and they did a good job of using it tonight. Our guys were looking over their shoulder because they blocked a lot of shots in the first half.
This is what we've done all year. The thing we talked about at halftime was to give ourselves a chance to walk out with our heads held high, and the only way we could do that was giving the maximum effort. The guys did that. After the first half, that's the only thing you can ask for.
