New Mexico Head Coach Ritchie McKay
“I thought we came out and played very well defensively in the first half. We did some good things offensively, too.
“We started trading baskets in the second half, then they made some threes and we played a little tight. I think we’ve got to relax and keep doing what we do, because in spite of what people say, we have won four of the past five and we’re 8-4. We’re getting there.”
“We can’t be afraid to be aggressive. If you’re afraid, the you’re not going to win at a high level.”
(on Jeff Hart’s play) – “Not only did he hit some big shots for us, but he did a good job defensively as well.”
Dartmouth head coach Terry Dunn
” I thought they (New Mexico) did a good job in the first
half of taking us out of our offensive style of play. It
was difficult for us to make shots. We did a lot better
job with our offense in the second half and being able to
knock down open shots. Defensively, we did a better job
in transition.”
