Nov. 24, 2001
BGSU HEAD COACH CURT MILLER:
"We're extremely disappointed to come out of here 0-2. We wanted all along to split. This is a message sent, because both teams meet later in the year at the Miami Tournament (Dec. 27 at the Gatorade Holiday Festival in Coral Gables, Fla.). So, there's going to be bragging rights and a lot of confidence (for Yale) going into the next meeting."
"We're a bad basketball team right now without Francine Miller, and we have to learn how to play without her. We are not shooting the ball well, we're not being confident on the offensive end, and we are getting outrebounded badly. A six-foot center for Yale (Meg Simpson) got 17 rebounds against us."
"We're a bad basketball team searching for ourselves. We don't have a lot of leadership or confidence right now. We have a lot of work to do, but we still have two games in the next five days."
"We need to go back to the drawing board and watch film and keep learning. A lot of people's heads are down, because we look like the team that has lost for three straight years. There doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel right now, but they have to start to believe, and they have to start to play harder."
YALE HEAD COACH AMY BACKUS:
"This was a big mental game for us. We have struggled playing both with a lead and being down, and it was critical that we did both well tonight."
"We had a lot of help from a lot of people. We are pretty deep, so if someone's having an off night, someone else will step up."
"Bowling Green did make it tough tonight with their free-throw shooting (BGSU went 20-of-23)."
