Louisville Head Coach Denny Crum
"This was about as frustrating as it gets. Marques (Maybin) goes 3-of-13 and 2-of-10 from three-point range and we shot as a team 4-of-25 from the three point line. That's the worst shooting game of the season and it didn't matter if they were open. When it doesn't go in, you're not going to win."
"I didn't say we played bad, we just didn't make our shots. It wasn't a matter of playing bad. Our statistics are better in almost every category except in shooting. You have to make baskets when you have an opportunity."
UAB Head Coach Murry Bartow
"It was a good win for us. We feel fortunate because the last two times here we lost by 16 and 30. They have one of the best backcourts in the league which I was concerned about. We played poorly at home but have played well in the last two road games."
"So much is predicated on (Reece) Gaines and (Marques) Maybin and our defense on (Erik) Brown was really good. We just tried to concentrate on our perimeter defense. I am not sure if Marques had an off night or we just had something to do with it."
"They have struggled scoring inside but they don't have a lot of low post scorers. Tonight we tried to go one-on-one in the post and concentrate on Maybin and Gaines."
