Head Coach Steve Cleveland
"Nevada is a good team and they showed why tonight," Cleveland said. "I thought we played hard, but we didn't hit our free throws and that hurt us in the second half."
"We have to bounce back and come out strong against New Mexico State on Saturday night," Cleveland said. "I thought the crowd was great tonight and it should be another exciting game Saturday night."
Senior Forward Quinton Hosley
"We came out strong, but we didn't hit our free throws and that hurt us," Hosley said. "We could have had the lead going into halftime if we knocked down a couple more."
"I think we will be able to bounce back," Hosley said. "We need to rebound better Saturday night and bring a lot of energy."
