Stokes Postgame Press Conference (Audio Quotes)

ECU Head Coach Ricky Stokes
"I'd like to give UAB a lot of credit; they made a lot of shots when they had to. I think we came back in the second half and made a run of it. We played with a sense of urgency. I thought some of Courtney's shots when in and out, and that we had some good shots. I think Gabe had one of his better games tonight."

"We knew they had three guys that are dangerous. I thought we did a pretty good job on Delany, holding him to only nine points. Kinnard is often a difficult match-up that can stretch you defensively"

"We have to continue to work. Any time that you have so many young guys and trying to develop them, you are going to have problems. I think it is a learning curve. I think for the most part, we've been in the position, now we just have to win there."

"I think any time you lose it is disappointing, but I think our kids are pretty resilient. I don't think any one has hung their head, and we will continue to work to get better." "We were in a zone most of the first half. They were overloading one side and leaving a shooter wide open in the corner. It took us a while to get over to the corner and defend."

ECU senior Courtney Captain
"They have some good shooters. We tried to stop their penetration, but they just got the ball out to their shooters."

"We were shooting the ball, but it just wasn't going down. It was like there was a hand inside the basket. Then when they shot, the ball just seemed to go down. It all comes down to who can score and who can't."

"It is real frustrating. This is our home gym and we could not seem to make shots. We have to keep going and trying."
