HEAD COACH GRAVELLE CRAIG:

“It's always tough when you're not in school and the fans' aren't here. At the same time, if you  want to be a championship team you don't worry about who is in the stands or who the opponent is. You do the things you need to do get better.”

“When you're not focused, you don't shoot the ball. We had no energy today.”

“Adrien's triple-double doesn't surprise me. He's been our most consistent player. He makes good decisions on the break.”

ADRIEN COLEMAN:

“We were sharing the ball … we could have done way better. I don't know what happened tonight.”

“We gave up a lot a points on defense. We can't do that in the conference.”

ALEX SMITH

“I felt like I had to step  up. Four blocks is what coaches recruited me to do.”
