Richmond vs. Xavier Post-Game Quotes

Feb. 10, 2004
Richmond head coach Jerry Wainwright
"We played tired and seemed drained. Usually we build around a spark from some player, we didn't have it tonight."
"We anticipated them playing zone. We give up 62 points at home, I would like our chances. We missed two layups early in the second half and that really changed the game."
Xavier head coach Thad Matta
"I'm proud of our guys, the three seniors stepped up. Our defense propelled us down the stretch."
"We prepared for 40 minutes of grind it out basketball. We let the game come to us."
Richmond senior Mike Skrocki
"Give credit to their defense, they extended their defense, obviously we wanted to pound it inside, but we probably didn't stick to our game plan as much as we should have. We just have to make shots.'
"Those are shots I have to make, my teammates are trying to get me good looks. I wasn't able to hit shots."
"Their defensive changes surprised us a little. We couldn't get it in transition. It's discouraging but we just have to make shots, up eight they can sit in zone and make us use clock."
