Stokes Postgame Press Conference (Audio Quotes)
ECU Head coach Ricky Stokes
"I'd like to give UCF a lot of credit; they are a great shooting team, especially Peppers and Taylor. We did a good job on O'Donnell, Payne, and Noel. I thought our inside guys did rather well, especially well in the first half."
"I thought the second half we went through a scoring drought, and they hit some shots. John Fields played well; it is great to see a guy diving on the floor with less than a minute to go. Courtney Captain did a good job in the first half, but they did a good job shutting him down in the second. Cory Farmer has managed to put together two or three good games, so we are pleased with that. We are still going to need to put a few more pieces together in order to hang with the top teams of our conference."
"We only have one senior, and I think he is doing quite well. Hopefully we are gaining some valuable experience. I think our guys look up to [Captain]."
"[Josh Peppers] has hurt us before, because he is hard to match up against. He is a lot like Morris Almond."
Senior guard Courtney Captain
"I try to do as much as I can to help the team out both offensively and defensively. I'm going to come out and give it my all."
"I want to come out of my senior year with some wins so I try to push some of the young guys."
Junior Guard Cory Farmer
"We tried to come out from the beginning and give it our all. We just let them take it to us in the second half. We need to keep attacking for the whole 40 minutes"
" At the beginning of the season I tried to come out more aggressive, but now I have just settled into my game."
