ECU Head Coach Ricky Stokes
On Tonight's Game

On The Atmosphere Of Minges
"I want to thank all of the Pirate fans for the great atmosphere. Today was a great day to be a Pirate and we are so glad that we could add to it."
"We want to thank our administration for coming to us and asking us to move this game from 7 to 5. I thought it was a great idea to get as many fans here when most of our students are not, and the fans really made the difference tonight."
On Wofford
"They really played well and hard. Coach Young does a great job over there, and we know we're going to have another tough challenge in Spartanburg next week."
Junior Japhet McNeil

On Wofford's three pointer to get them into overtime
"It is good to be a point guard and to keep your poise. You can't get rattled because then your troops are going to get rattled. I really didn't want to get all shaken up. It wasn't like it was over and I knew we were going to get it back in overtime and finish the deal."
