Richmond Coach Chris Mooney
On Beating A Ranked Opponent
"You don't have many opportunities to take on a nationally ranked opponent in your own building. I thought we played very well. I thought that we had control of the game in the first half."
On Richmond's Defense
"Our defense was very, very good, especially early."
On The Significance Of The Win
"I am really proud of our guys and just hopeful because I think that we could be building something very good here. This is the kind of win that gives us that hope that you are moving in the right direction."
On Richmond's Aggressiveness
"I thought that we were aggressive and alert. People were able to make some plays."
On Dan Geriot
"He has a great knack, a great ability to put the ball in the hole."
Richmond's Dan Geriot
On The Atmosphere
"That is the most energy we have had here. The crowd was into it and it helped tons."
On The Game
"We had the game in our hands the whole game. That's where we wanted to be."
Richmond's David Gonzalvez
On Holding Brian Roberts To Three First-Half Points
"We knew if we kept him(Roberts) out of the game we had a chance to win."
On Being Aggressive
"I told Dan (Geriot), `We've got to be the most aggressive we have been all season. I am going to attack every time I get the ball every possession. I am either going to play horrible or have a great game.' "
Dayton Coach Brian Gregory
On The Game
"Give Richmond a ton of credit, Chris is doing a great job with that team. They are young but he has added some athletes with ability and quickness, so that is good in that type of offense. It's when they are playing defense well that they can beat people. That's how they beat Virginia Tech. They are successful causing problems, containing penetration and getting steals."
On Dayton's Defense
"From the tip off our defensive intensity was not there. We did not show poise and when compared to how Richmond was playing tonight, it was really apparent where we were lacking."
Dayton's Brian Roberts
On His Slow Start
"I was not aggressive in the first half and we came out as a team and played a lot better in the second half."
On His Health
"The first half, it was a little slow. This being my second game I started to feel a little bit better. I'm pretty much normal."
On The Team's Struggles On Offense
"That's what's going to happen to us if we don't defend. We have to adjust."
