BGSU Guard Keith McLeod
"They played really hard, they were probably the hardest team we have played. My hat's off to UNCW."
"Momentum went back and forth, they scored, we scored and nobody really stopped anybody."
"Coach told us to push it up and told me to spot up."
"It (last shot) felt good. I was pretty sure it was going in, I wanted the win, and we did not want another OT."
"This is an incredible feeling. I don't mind being the guy, I love those situations and I didn't want to let my teammates down."
"The crowd was crazy, the fans are great, and I feel at home here, like one big family."
UNCW Coach Wainwright
"I guess on the bright side we did our best to ensure future BG attendance. This is a great place for college basketball."
"I didn't see how Keith got open. I thought it was a difficult shot and he is certainly on a roll. He's a very good player, plays like a senior."
"We have no apologies, we gave it our best shot. We tried our best and it took a great play to beat us."
"I think these teams are evenly matched. Coach Dakich is a really great guy, good friend and he has a really good team."
"I think the teams are pretty evenly matched and Dan's team will get better. These kinds of games help you grow up."
BGSU Coach Dan Dakich
"It was a heck of a basketball game!"
"I said before the game UNCW is the best team we will and have played all year."
"What a performance by that kid (McLeod) and I think he did a wonderful job on Blizzard."
"That zone was an annoyance, it was more than an annoyance, it was a major hindrance."
"I didn't think we guarded them from beginning to end. Everyone so far we have been able to guard, everyone. Tonight I never felt like we were able to guard them and when that happens you are very, very lucky to win. When that happens you have to throw in a 20-foot off balance three with 4 seconds to go to win a game, fortunately Keith did!
"I hope this gives us confidence, it should."
"I would just like to see one game other than a DIII come down to the last shot."
"I thought we showed really big heart."
"What a great student crowd and when the students get into it, everyone gets into it."
"This is an excellent basketball team (UNCW) and we are happy to get out of it with a win."
