Right now I'm just living on this. After the season, whatever happens, happens. Right now I'm not even thinking about it, I'm concerned about this team. |
Somebody was going to get their coffin shut tonight, and it wasn't going to be us. |
The fans still support us, everyone thinks we got screwed a little bit. I think we'll have a decent crowd. We should fill up a couple of seats. I think the fans of Cincinnati are good enough people to support us and not turn their backs on us. |
There's no way that team would've beat us with James and Jihad. We would've beaten them double figures with those two. |
They was on me pretty heavy, but I didn't think it was a right spot for me. Being a home-state team, you know I cheered for them a little bit, but not that much. It's a homecoming game for me. |
They were one of those teams that we were so much better than them, we thought we could turn it on and off. |
They were way down the list. I know the coaches don't like that, so maybe they'll have it out for me. |
They were way down the list. The coaches don't like that, so they're going to have it in for me. That's why I've got to come and play. |
They're never on TV. Every year they go to the NIT. They look forward to going to the NIT. I was looking for bigger things. |
This whole game is my fault. Everybody knows that if I don't play good, we can't win. This game is 100 percent my fault. I ain't the kind to make excuses. I just didn't come to play. |
Two senior starters let us down. There is no way that team would have beaten us with James and Jihad. We had to play a walk-on out of position. We never made excuses. |
We can't lose here, we're not proving people wrong if we can't even get out of the first round of the NIT. How can we say they made a mistake if we couldn't get out of the first round of the NIT? |
We didn't come to play and we got what we deserved. There's no way that team is supposed to beat us by 17 or 18 points. I'm disappointed in myself. |
We didn't come to play, we got what we deserved. We threw it all over the gym. It wasn't one person. I wasn't there mentally. |
We just told each other we can't lose. This is the way (interim head coach Andy Kennedy) put it - someone was going to be a nail and a hammer. Someone was going to have their coffin shut tonight. We couldn't let it be us. |
