"This is a hard loss for us. You only play these teams (West) once and these are ones that we need to win on the road."
Dan Dakich
"I thought that we had chances to open the game up and we didn't do it. We took a nine point lead, I think Martin (Samarco) maybe hit a three, they missed and then got right back and got the offensive rebound and put it back in. I think that was as big a play as there was in the game."
"It just seemed like we couldn't never get it extended to where we needed it extended and nearing the end, we just made some real poor judgements."
"But really, I think Ball State is a really good team, I think that is evidenced by how they've played everybody so tough."
"In the end, quite frankly, they made shots that they needed to make and got to the foul line and we didn't. We had Erik (Marschall) on the rim with one, we had Mawel (Soler) on the rim or right at the rim with one and we weren't making and they did during that stretch where they took the lead out."
Ball State Head Coach Tim Buckley
"We really talked about finishing out games. Let's take care of things when they are defining moments. Getting that turnover, that was a defining moment in the game."
"Skip Mills basically got every rebound there at the end and did what he's supposed to do as the leader of our team. At the end he wanted to be the one at the free throw line." (Mills scored 11 of his 14 points in the final 7:46)
