Travis Ford On The Loss
"They just outplayed us. No other way to go about it. I don't think our guys took it lightly or weren't ready. They outplayed us. We ran into a team that was running on all cylinders. They were the better team. We never really made much of a game."
Ford On The Overall Season
"You know it is a marathon. The Rhode Island game was just one game and this is just one game. But you know, I told our team there is still a long season left. The road is tough and hopefully we respond from this. I don't think we overlooked Temple. We can't make any excuses they just outplayed us."
Ford On Temple's Game
"The 3-point shot got them going. It wasn't really our offense. It was their offense. It was our defense. We could just never get in a flow because we could just never stop them. We could never get out on the break. That's not a scenario when you are just taking the ball out of the net (after Temple made baskets). We just couldn't get any flow. They just made a lot of shots. Everytime we would make a run they would come down and make some 3s. We were in their face and they hitting the shots. Give Temple all the credit.
Ford On Looking Ahead To Fordham
"It doesn't get any easier. They are a very, very good basketball team. We have to just get back to work and focus on Fordham."
