SU Player Quotes

Eric Devendorf on Bucknell:
“Bucknell’s a good team. You have to give them credit. We didn’t play how we are supposed to play.”
Devendorf on if losing to Bucknell is a wake up call:
“You could say that. It’s kind of a wake up call. Bucknell’s a good team, but obviously we’re in the BIG EAST so there are much better teams than Bucknell. We have to step it up and go to practice tomorrow and put this behind us.”
Devendorf on the team’s turnovers:
“For me, I went too deep and I was jumping in the air, passing. It was stupid. All we have to do is play how we played against Texas Tech and that’s how we really can play. Rebounding, we just have to box out, that’s all.”
Gerry McNamara on the team’s play:
“We didn’t make plays down the stretch and they did. That’s that.”
“I thought we played well down in New York City and we were confident coming in. We don’t need a wake up call. We just didn’t make plays when we needed to.”
“None of us stepped up. If you’re not mad at yourself then you shouldn’t be on the floor.”
Demetris Nichols on the team’s mistakes:
“I don’t think we rebounded the ball well. I don’t think we executed down the stretch well. I think that really hurt us. We need to go into practice tomorrow and try to correct our mistakes. It’s still early in the season. We just have to get better, that’s the bottom line. We have to go into practice tomorrow and do drills and try to correct our mistakes.”
Daryl Watkins on the loss:
“This is a tough loss. We came in thinking that it couldn’t happen but the turnovers and the rebounding is why we lost.”
