UNI Head Coach Ben Jacobson
"Sometimes you've got to feel good about winning a basketball game."
"Adam Viet has earned that shot. He shoots all the time; at practice, and outside of practice. He's not just a shooter. Tonight it paid off."
"We had plenty of timeouts. But too many times we inbounded it to the corner and couldn't get the pass made. We will need to spend some more practice time on that aspect of the game."
UNI Guard Adam Viet
"We ran a play for Adam (Koch) and he told me if my guy helps out, he's passing it out to me. I got my hands on it, it felt pretty good and it went in."
"It was a good experience. If you can get anything good about letting a team back in it. We played well until the end, when they started pressuring us."
UNI Center Eric Coleman
"It's not necessarily a season-saver. Anytime we win, it allows us to take control of where we will place for the conference tournament and it will help us avoid the play-in game."
"It was frustrating to watch, but I've got confidence in my guys, the seniors, to get it done. They did a great job in overtime to get the win."
Wichita State Head Coach Gregg Marshall
"It's sad we had to lose a great basketball game. (UNI) made shots in the overtime and deserves credit. Our guys deserve credit for not folding. All in all I was proud of our effort and UNI really shot it tonight."
"I told (Matt Braeuer) to go all the way. I don't know if he heard me or not because we only had four seconds and no timeouts. But he did a good job of creating a look. It hit the front rim, back rim and bounced out though. That's a microcosm of our season. But our guys are continuing to fight and something good is going happen before this season is over. I just know it."
