"We were fortunate to get another win. There are no easy games in this league. When you play well you gain confidence and that's the importance of being a good basketball team. You can't feel good about your record because you have to keep improving."
"Grant (Stout) was huge in the first half. We didn't have anybody else knock down any shots in the first half. We got some good looks but they didn't go in. We needed somebody to make shots and Grant rose up and made shots. You could tell they were good when they left his hand."
"We got a couple of stops late and the crowd got in the game after Travis (Brown) hit a couple of threes. That is why we were able to make plays because the crowd gave us some energy."
"I was feeling good in warmups and I felt good at Missouri State. The perimeter was open but it wasn't like I was hitting shots with guys in my face."
"We picked up our defense in the final few minutes. The crowd got into it and we put pressure on them and forced turnovers. When you get fastbreak layups you can catch your breath and it helps you on defense."
"(Grant's) shoulders have got to be sore tonight. He did a good job of stepping up for us. He has been working hard to get shots and knocking them down."
"First place doesn't mean a whole lot right now because every game is going to be tough. Anybody can lose on any night in this league. We just have to take care of business and we'll be fine."
"Quite frankly we played well through the midway point of the second half, but down the stretch UNI's experience and poise overcame us."
"When UNI got up 48-46, we fouled on the next six possessions. A couple of things went bad and lose our composure. We really broke down defensively in the last six-to-seven minutes."
