Evansville Head Coach Marty Simmons
"UNI is a good defensive team. They are old schoo. They don't accept being screened. Their perimeter guys move their feet well and their size inside played a factor."
"I thought Adam Koch was ultra-aggressive tonight. I like the way he plays. We played him straight up, so it's not like he got some garbage buckets. He's a really good player."
UNI Head Coach Ben Jacobson
"Jordan (Eglseder) did a nice job of scoring early. Eric (Coleman) scored for us down the stretch, and Adam (Koch) scored all the way through."
"We did a good job of corralling (Jason) Holsinger on ball screens. Jared did a good job of chasing him. (Holsinger's) a hard guy to keep up with and I thought Jared did a great job of doing that tonight."
"Adam (Koch) has practiced well and he's played well. Tonight he got some baskets to go and that goes along with everything else he does for the team. Our guys are to be aggressive on offense and our guys understand what a good shot is in our offense."
"I thought it was big when Brian (Haak) dove for that loose ball. He got in there and scrapped for that loose ball. That was really important for him to do that. It's important for him to continue to get better as well, but he works hard every single day in practice."
"We gave Evansville some life, but give them some credit because they put themselves in position to win the game."
UNI Center Eric Coleman
"We had to get some stops. You knows teams will make runs but we bounced back and were able to finish it off."
"It shows the versatility of our team and Adam (Koch) was really effective tonight."
UNI Forward Adam Koch
"It's most important that we got the win. I was happy to be able to help out offensively. I was just taking advantage of the opportunities that were there. Tonight it happened to be my turn to score some points. It doesn't hurt your confidence to have a good offensive night."
