New Mexico Head Coach Ritchie McKay
“Our effort was good. We’ve got to get better execution down the stretch. We should have come away with a victory”
(on the Lobos final shot of regulation):
“We had a couple options on that. Darren (Prentice) made a good pass and we just didn’t finish. A.J. (Aaron Johnson) played well, played hard and I’m sure he’s down in the dumps right now.”
San Diego State Head Coach Steve Fisher
“I’m so proud of the energy and effort that we put out. This game is about runs. This game is about making plays. This game is also about a little bit of luck. I think we had all of the above as we played this game. One thing we had a great deal of was togetherness and fight.”
“We fought hard. When we lost Mohamed (Abukar), it took a huge piece out of what we could do, especially offensively. I thought Jer’Vaughn Johnson came in and gave us some phenomenal minutes. He took a charge, rebounded the ball inside and played outstanding.”
