UNI Head Coach Ben Jacobson
"I felt like we defended better tonight. We defended the ball screen better and our rotations were better. We had some breakdowns, but for the most part we did a good job."
"Eric (Coleman) had a good basketball game. Jared (Josten) played well. Adam (Viet) hit four threes. All three of those seniors were in double figures. It's a good way to play in their last game in this gym."
"All we can control is our game on Saturday against Evansville. We have to get ready for Evansville. The sixth spot is where we'd like to be, but we have to be focused on Evansville."
Indiana State Head Coach Kevin McKenna
"There were a lot of sets and plays were we had guys in position, but we either missed a shot or made a poor pass. We had some missed opportunities and our execution was not very sharp. Our defensive intensity was below average all game."
"Our missed free throws didn't allow us to stay in contact. The missed one-and-ones are the things that keep you in contact."
"Coleman has been up and down this year. But when he's good, he's really good. We tried to change things up and trap him. Our basic scheme was to mix it up with him but we were out of sync at both ends of the floor."
UNI Senior Guard Adam Viet
"It was good to get a Missouri Valley Conference win. It was kind of emotional, but most importantly we got the conference win. Now we have to take care of business on Saturday (at Evansville)."
"The last few games E.C.'s (Eric Coleman) play has been energized. How he plays is how everybody else is going to play. He's been awesome."
UNI Senior Center Eric Coleman
"It was pretty exciting to feel the support that the fans have for the UNI men's basketball program. It felt pretty good."
"In practice we worked on getting after people. Coach told us we needed to get after people and guard them on the defensive end. Tonight we did a good job trapping on ball screens and our rotations were better."
"It's been a good ride. To get a free education and to play the game you love - that's all you can ask for. And the fans we have are great. The teammates that I have had year-in and year-out have been great to get along with. You can't get any better than that."
