Bill Herrion Played Quotations

I was a little surprised. They have 21 wins, played tough in the bracket buster, played some teams tough in the non-conference. ... I think they?re a pretty good 16th seed.

It's been a difficult stretch for us. We're young, we've been beaten around, and we've played 10 of our first 12 games on the road.

I?m very proud of how they played. They played their hearts out for 45 minutes. Coming off the other night against Maine at home I was concerned with how we?d respond. It?s just a great win for us.

I think our kids deserve a lot of credit. They really, really played their hearts out tonight. ... I think what?s happened with this team is our overall toughness and competitiveness have improved. We?re learning and understanding the fight.

I don?t think the effort was a total issue today. We played pretty hard. But it?s one thing to play hard and another to play well and do your job.
