UNI vs. Creighton Quotes
"You're going to have games when the ball doesn't go in but then you've got to step it up on defense. We didn't do that tonight."
On UNI's defense:
"We were not as good as we needed to be. They did a good job. We had looks we needed to hit and just didn't."
On UNI's defense:
"We didn't defend well enough. Creighton played very well offensively, but we needed to take more plays away from them, instead they made plays."
"Our game is about defense and rebounding. We didn't play well defensively today and a lot of that credit goes to Creighton."
On crowd:
"Today was a great atmosphere. As disappointed as I am in our team's defense, I'm equally disappointed we didn't win in front of a full house. Our fans are terrific and give us tremendous support."
Creighton Head Coach Dana Altman
"This is a good win for us. We shot the ball pretty good and had some good possessions. We played good defense as well. They out-rebounded us, but we overcame that. They missed shots they normally make, which also helped us."
On snapping UNI's 11-game winning streak:
"They had a great 11 games. They played great in the tight games and that's what you have to do to win, win in the close game situations. UNI has done that. UNI is a good team and we were very fortunate today."
