Post-Game Quotes From Louisville-Oregon Men's Basketball Game

Louisville head coach Denny Crum
"It doesn't matter who we put on who. We're not doing a good job with the defense at all. We get into position where we are playing well and inevitably, we take a bad shot or turn the ball over."
"We need to play better defensively and get better shot selection. Those are the things that we need to work on. We practice those things all the time but we are not doing it in games."
"I wish I could say there was an easy way to change things. But when things aren't going good you need to make an effort to to get better. The way to change that is to get better on the defensive end. As much as we work on it in practice, we are still making the same mistakes we made the first week. We just have to get better."
Oregon head coach Ernie Kent
"Our team is really coming on. To come in here and play like we did is such a huge confidence booster going into conference play."
"Our bench really grew up today. We feel we have one of the more talented benches in the conference. I feel at ease playing anyone on our bench. It has taken awhile for our bench to come. I told them to either keep us solid or give us a boost and that is what they did tonight."
(on nonconference play) "We have the second best record behind Stanford in the conference. This team has so much potential. We have grown from every game and we are right on course to where we need to be. We are a young team in this conference."
"We had a lot of success in a three guard weave and they allowed us to go back door a lot. That payed great dividends for us and allowed us to get into the flow of the game. It is hard for other teams to defend the way we pass the ball. It is a system and we are in sync."
