Quotes - Quinnipiac vs. Robert Morris (2/14/09)

Head Coach Mike Rice:

"I hope this game will help us the next three weeks. The difference with this team, when something bad or bizarre happens, they don't hang their heads. Defensively Quinnipiac was very good. We didn't wear them down the way we've had some other opponents. That's an improving team and one that will be a tough out in the NEC Tournament. They have good floor balance. We didn't play with the same emotion and intensity like we've had, but we had some individuals step up and find a way to get us a win."

Senior guard Jeremy Chappell:

"I think we saw tonight that we can buckle down and grind out a win. It was back and forth. We were up, we were down, but we didn't quit. There's no point in giving up, because basketball is a game of runs and we've shown we can come back when we're down, no matter how much time is left."

Junior forward Rob Robinson on defending Justin Rutty:

"Our game plan was whenever he got the ball we needed to help out defensively. We did a good job. We were able to get him out of his comfort zone and make him uncomfortable in the paint."
