Eastern Michigan Coach Jim Boone
"I just want to start by saying that Bowling Green has a great team."
"They are without a doubt the best team we have played so far this season."
"Keith McLeod really put on a show tonight and obviously we came in with the idea to do some things to take him away and we were absolutely unable to do that and thats a credit to him, his team and his coaching staff."
" Playing defense is our main goal and trying to get some stops and then run our offense."
BGSU coach Dan Dakich
" I thought we played pretty good defense and for the most part we started off sluggish and when Mattox and Ryan came in we did a pretty good job of picking up our defensive pace."
"I didn't like what we were doing to start the game, but I thought our defense really picked up our offense."
"The key to the game was the start of the second half to take a 13-point lead and then make it a 19-point lead."
On McLeod's outstanding defensive play
"McLeod, he's just been doing that every game. He's just been guarding whoever he needs to guard as hard as he can possibly guard them."
"That's why I think he's having a great year, a phenomenal year,"
"It's not just offensively - he's just guarding everybody. Tonight he gets 32 points and holds their leading scorer to 12 - that's a pretty good night. He had a really good look about him."
