Coach Travis Ford on the game:
"It was a disappointing game. We competed most of the game until the end. No one on our team played well. That's what it comes down to."
Coach Ford on his team's effort:
"Ray battled, crashing the offensive glass all night. It was just one of those nights. I am not saying we did it on purpose. Everyone had a bad night, players and coaches."
Coach Ford on Steve Smith:
"We tried to stop Smith and were pretty successful. We could have had the greatest game plan in history and we still would have lost. It happens. When all eight players don't play well it spells trouble."
Chris Lowe on his ankle:
"I was playing at about 40%. It was hard, but once I stepped on the court, I dedicated myself. I wasn't thinking about my ankle, just trying to help the team win...I do not regret playing."
Jeff Viggiano on the upcoming schedule:
"We have two tough teams coming up. If we beat them, we can make some noise. Anything can happen in the A-10 tourney. We are playing for seeding now."
James Life on his shooting:
"No one played well, especially me. I made my mind up to step up. I did well, but we came up short, very short."
