Richmond vs. VCU Quote Sheet
12/03/2003 | Men's Basketball
Dec. 3, 2003
Richmond head coach Jerry Wainwright
"I am very proud of my team and respectful of Jeff [Capel] and his team."
"Tony Dobbins is a pretty good player. I don't know what he does, but he fills up a stat sheet. He is a great defender."
"This was a big game for Daon Merritt. He needed a shot of confidence. He played solid defense and was a main contributor."
Richmond senior Tony Dobbins
"Every game is a must win game. This one in particular was magnified by us losing two in a row. Magnified also because it is a cross town rivalry, and magnified by the fact that it is a home game."
Richmond freshman Daon Merritt
"Each player is trying to find their identity. Once our chemistry gets going, turnovers will be minimized and there will be less miscommunication out on the floor."
VCU head coach Jeff Capel
"I give a lot of credit to the University of Richmond, they played a very good basketball game."
"We did not close the first half well at all. We had an off night due to Richmond's defense."
