Postgame Quotes

Dan Earl, Head Coach
Opening Statement:
"Obviously it's tougher night than last night. And this thing ends quickly, which is tough about March. In regards to the game, you just point to the 16 turnovers we had, which was tough, and then the 24 offensive rebounds ETSU had so credit to them."

On the physicality of the contest:
"I thought it was very physical game. We were trying to keep them off the boards, and they come kept coming at us. It was a very physical game, as you know, and they crash four guys, at least at times, so then they started making shots which hurt. I mean, you look and they had 79 field goal attempts. We had 53. That's hard to win a game that way."

On the shift in momentum:
"You could feel it was almost tangible. Things were going well, we were up, and then the momentum just kind of went away from us. We were like kind of running away from the ball for a long while...not coming to the ball on the traps and were holding it too long. And again, you could just kind of feel that momentum shift."

On his team:
"Proud of our guys, our fight. I'm proud of all of a guys, but it ends quickly for the seniors.I appreciate all of our guys, but Jan Zidek, Tyler Millin and Demetrius Davis in particular gave us a lot of all that good stuff, blood, sweat and tears. Sorry it's over for them."

On if fatigue set in down the stretch:
"I just think that down the stretch of the game we kind of laxed a little bit once we got up 20. We obviously preached in the huddles that we gotta keep going and not take our foot off the gas, but once they had the moment and didn't let go we couldn't grasp it ourselves. I don't think they necessarily played harder than us, we played hard the whole game, but once that momentum switched we just couldn't get it back."

On the final shot attempt from him in OT:
"I was honestly just trying a floater and hoping it goes in, but it didn't. That's not the reason why we lost this game."
