Senior center Craig Forth
On the game:
“It was just one of those games where you have to get the kinks out. Overall, I think we did play well on defense, but we just struggled on offense. That is something we will have to work on the next few days.”
On Darryl Watkins possibly being out:
“We have lost a big part of our game out there. He gets a bunch of blocks every game. He has been playing well this season. It is a shame that it happen tonight and everyone will have to step up. I have had to step up for awhile.”
Senior forward Hakim Warrick
On the game:
“I think we did a good job of making them work. Both teams came out and struggled shooting the ball. When it was all said and done, they missed too many shots.”
On his dunks in the first half:
“I just went out there and tried to find the holes in their zone. Gerry did a really good job setting up that play. When we are one-on-one, Gerry and I like to go for it.”
On how he played:
“I think I struggled a lot. I missed too many shots. We struggled as a team and we can do a lot better. We had too many turnovers and that is something we have to correct. We will get back at it in practice.”
On the possible loss of Darryl Watkins:
“That is a big loss, especially with the way he has been playing lately. He has been getting some good minutes and playing great on defense.”
On Demetris Nichols:
“He really sparked us and that is something that we need. I think that really gave us a lift. He hit some big shots in the second half for us.”
Sophomore forward Demetris Nichols
On how he feels about his performance:
“I think I played pretty good. Guys were trying to find me and I just knocked my shots down. I feel great. I feel healthy and confident in myself and it should continue.”
On how his back is feeling:
“My back feels great right now. It feels fine.”
