Richmond Head Coach Jerry Wainwright
"I just left a happy lockerroom. I'm sure the sigh of relief knocked off some leaves off trees in Maine. I don't know what would have happened if we lost this game."
"We drew that last play up. Everybody's here for a reason, he [Jeff Myers] is the most competent guy with that lineup. I wanted him to make the play. Jamal [Scott] made a great screen and Tony [Dobbins] got him the ball."
"He [Jeff Myers] really made a big shot to get us back in the hunt."
Rhode Island Head Coach Jim Baron
"One official made six calls against us. Myers had a great shot."
"I knew it would be a tough battle coming in. We had some crucial fouls down the stretch. I knew there would be a no-call down the stretch.
Richmond Senior Jeff Myers
"That is something that senior do, take big shots. We have the experience, soon it will by [Patrick] O'Malley's and Scott's turn."
"I wasn't going to bed tonight without taking the last shot. I have to give the guys credit that came off the bench. They played a great game."
