We got out-toughed. We knew coming in, we’d have to do the intangibles to win, but they were the tougher team for 40 minutes.

We have to accelerate this, but it’s going to take us some time to get everybody in place.

Southern Miss is our big rival. We will have to play our best to win. In the first game, Forte was the difference and so was Beasley. We need to do a better job on...

This is just what we needed. We needed to be home in the friendly confines of our arena, in our city and at our school. This is only one game, but its a special game...

My hat goes off to David Gomez and Quincy Davis, both of whom kept fighting the last 20 minutes of the ball game. I thought that our guys were great teammates tonight. … In order...

We need him to play well. Our players look for him. For him to have 20 points and shoot 8-of-13 is a good start.

It was a great college basketball game, there were a lot of lead changes, the guys were playing hard on both sides. We got back in the game and we had a chance to win...

We shoot 31 percent, they shoot 36. You probably saw some ugly basketball out there.

We can finish with a good record in conference and give the second half of our year some meaning to it.

He’s a kid you can win a lot of games with.

They are the most athletic team we’re going to play all year and they did a good job of using it tonight. Our guys were looking over their shoulder because they blocked a lot of...

We would love to be in Fogelman, in our own city with our own fans for the entire season, but we are thankful to Texas A&M for giving us the opportunity to begin our season...

The thing that I saw was two or three of our guys had a chance at intercepting the ball, but they didn’t do it. I don’t know if they ran into each other or if...

If we can keep our turnovers down, I am confident in our offense. Our offense has been executing well over the last seven or eight games.

The first two minutes of the second half we were a different team. We’ve been a good defensive team. That’s who we are and who we’ve been.

There are no positives. We got beat by a better team. They played great. I’m disappointed in the way we lost.

It’s difficult for the pitchers when things like this happen. It takes away the inside corner. Our pitchers are taken out of the game in a certain way.

This is what we’ve done all year. The thing we talked about at halftime was to give ourselves a chance to walk out with our heads held high, and the only way we could do...

We shot 31.4 percent and they shot 36.8 percent. You probably saw some ugly basketball.

This is a very important game for us. I am pleased that we have put ourselves in a position to play a meaningful game.
