On the
"We had gone over all their stuff. I thought we would do a better job of handling them."
On the
"We did not guard them well enough. They just outplayed us."
On the team's performance in the second half...
"We were down four buckets at the half after playing horrifically on offense the first half, and we needed some stops that we didn't get. We don't make any free throws to stop the bleeding and we miss wide open shots that could have stopped the bleeding. All the while we were not guarding the way we need to guard. We were not scoring at all. Mike Drum and David Weaver gave us a good lift off the bench."
Maryland Head Coach Gary Williams
On the game in general...
"I'm really proud of our team. It's been tough and to hang in there and win this road game is a really good sign for us because it showed that we would stay tough. We kept working in practice. Skip has done an amazing job with a young team, making those guys believe that they are never out of the game. We knew we weren't going to win by twenty down here. I didn't think that would happen.

Freshman L.D. Williams
On the loss...

On the team's shot selection...
"We work on our shot selection a lot, but unfortunately our shots weren't falling for us tonight. It wasn't like we were shooting off-balance shots, they just weren't falling. We had a lot of good looks, but we just couldn't knock them down."
Senior Kyle Visser
On Michael Drum...
"That second half, he was very good. He hit some huge three's, took it to the hole and hit is free throws. We couldn't ask for much more from him."
