Richmond Head Coach Chris Mooney
On The Game
"I think my guys played well, well enough that it should not have been a 19-point game. We need to make some more shots."
On Dan Geriot
"Dan has the ability to make baskets, the best ability you can have. He's been in foul trouble in almost every game, he needs to stay out of foul trouble. He would have helped us during that drought."
On Richmond Handling George Washington's Pressure
"I don't know what the season low for turnovers against George Washington is, but that has to be close. Even thought we had only nine turnovers, we did get tired going against their pressure."
On Richmond Shooting So Many 3-Pointers
"It's tough because they played the 1-3-1 zone so much. Against them, you're going to have to take what you get because trying to pound it inside may be inviting a little more pressure. I don't think we would have taken too many if we had made a few more."
On GW
"I'm always impressed with how GW shares the ball for such an athletic team. That helps them because they take shots that are makeable and shots they are used to taking.
Richmond Freshman Dan Geriot
On His Foul Trouble
"Some of the hustle plays that I think are there, are not, and I commit a foul. I just have to become more mature in that area."
GW Head Coach Karl Hobbs
On Being The "Root Canal" Experience That He Expected The Game To Be
"It really was. We tried to play the man-to-man and they just executed and made hard cuts. I can't remember the last time we played so much zone. We just could not stay with those guys."
On How Playing Zone Helped The Colonials
"It took (the Spiders) out of their rhythm. The fluidity of their offense was running with precision, and they were running it at full speed. When we went to zone, we were able to break up their continuity a little bit. Thank goodness we did. When we were in the man-to-man, their execution was terrific. The score doesn't reflect how difficult a game it was."
GW's Rob Diggs
On Whether His Preparation Has Changed Now That He Is Starting
"Not really. I lift more now so that I won't be pushed around under the basket, and work on my mid-range shot. We really needed to do it, especially after we got cracked a couple of times on the backboard. I felt like I needed to get stronger, and now I'm able to hold my ground better. If someone's bigger than you, you're going to try and use your speed. But sometimes, you need some strength to go along with your speed."
GW's Carl Elliott
On Why Rebounding Has Become A Bigger Part Of His Game
"We've emphasized rebounding ever since the losing streak. Before, it fell mainly on the big guys to rebound. But coach has asked all of us to stick our noses in there, and that's what I'm doing."
