Head Coach Ray Giacoletti
"Coppin State did a great job stopping our offense early, but I thought it was a good example of us sticking together and playing together."
"Jermaine Calvin was vital tonight. He brought a lot of intensity, pressuring defense and enthusiasm, which is what anchors our defense. He enabled us to get the ball to the middle of the floor and run the floor."
"Holding a team to 37 points with 29 percent shooting is what I'm most (pleased) about. We struggled a little offensively, but our defense was really the key tonight."
"We are really trying to focus on what we can control. We are going to do whatever it takes to be mentally prepared for the games to come."
Junior Forward Bryant Markson
"This was a good win for us. I thought Bogut and Hawkins did a great job setting picks, which gave us opportunities to score. Lay-ups really got us going tonight and Bogut had some really great finishes."
"We had a little trouble getting started, but we eventually got it going. I think it was our focus on defense that was the biggest factor."
