BGSU vs. Akron Men's Basketball Post-Game Quotes....
BGSU Player Quotes
"Coach told us they (Akron) were going to double off of Kevin Netter, so someone else was going to have to step up."
"We pride ourselves in sustaining it for 40 minutes. We got to get to work and concentrate and play for 40 minutes."
Cory Ryan (on guarding Akron's Andy Hipsher)
"We tried to make it look like we had four or five guys guarding him and I think it kept him off balance."
UA Coach Dan Hipsher
"We had a game plan to control Netter inside, but they moved the ball around and got some other guys to contribute. I thought we had some looks in the first half that didn't go down."
"It's a competitive, tough series. That's why it's been split in the last couple of years."
BGSU Coach Dan Dakich
"Even though we started out the way we did, I thought we played well defensively for 40 minutes. We told them every timeout "stay with the defense, stay with the defense" and the offense will come. I thought we stayed with what we wanted to do through the first half."
"I think our effort's been great the last six games in the MAC. I've been pleased with the effort we've had since we got together on Aug. 28."
"I think it's harder to wear a team down at home than on the road. I would imagine that's what team's will try to do."
On Cory Ryan - "He was confident in his stroke tonight."
