Bowling Green Coach Dan Dakich
"It was a hard fought game. I think Marshall came in with as good of defense as anybody in the league, and for us to score 88 points was pretty good."
"I thought Germain Fitch gave us a lift at both ends of the floor and Ron Lewis competed really hard."
"Steven Wright got us going with pushing the ball. It's almost like if we can push the ball then we play defense better."
On Cole Magner and Keon Newson focusing on football for the remainder of the year
"They are unbelievably great kids and I think that's best for their future."
John Reimold on BGSU playing a smaller lineup:
"It's good to be able to go big or smaller for whatever is needed. Our small lineup stepped up, but we had some big guys in there battling, getting rebounds, doing what they had to do. We're a team, and everyone stepped up tonight."
Was this a must win?
Reimold: "Every game is a must win."
Marshall Coach Ron Jirsa
"I've got to give Bowling Green credit. They played a really well second half. They shot the ball extremely well. They were able to drive to the basket and find the open shooters."
