"You look at the stats and wonder how we were in this game. But I don't think I've ever played against a team twice in one season and never get in the free throw bonus. (UNI) playes smart defensively - they just don't foul."
"(Eric) Coleman is a heck of a player. He's so athletic and long. He's also such a good passer. Sometimes you would rather give up a two than a three if he has the ball."
"Coleman scores around you more than he scores over you. We were trying not to foul but Coleman made some tough shots."
"Now we are playing important games in February."
"I'm thrilled with this win because we beat a good basketball team tonight. They had a lot of confidence coming into this game but we wre able to disrupt them and establish an inside game early."
"It's not a secret that we want to work the ball inside. We have two special players in Grant Stout and Eric Coleman."
"Coleman may be the best passer on our team. Our opponents have to respect his ability to pass the ball when he gets it in the paint."
"It's tough to shoot around Grant Stout. He changes shots and blocks shots - that is a great luxury for us to have."
"Wichita State is such a great team. They were really playing well. This was a huge win for us. Our goal is to win a conference title and we are working toward that each day."
"This is why we are 21-4. We are not the most talented or athletic team in the nation. We come into each game prepared to win because of our coaching staff."
"I want to thank our crowd and say thanks to the community and student body because they are unbelievable. For us to play in that atmosphere is an incredible feeling and I just want to thank our fans."
