UConn Head Coach Kevin Ollie
On UConn's performance:
"I thought our guys played with the intensity on defense that we needed. Offensively, I thought we did a good job for the second game in a row shooting over 60%. We have 5 guys in double digits, but we do have to do a better job on the offensive end and the defensive end if we want to win games, especially conference games."
Guard/Forward, Daniel Hamilton
On team's success on offense:
"On offense we are just sharing the ball and getting out in transition like coach wanted us to. We are just looking up, finding the open man, and taking good shots."
On playing without Amida Brimah
"It was different without him out there. Not having someone out there that averages three blocks a game. I think we had to adjust and play better defensively"
Guard Rodney Purvis
On being a leader on the team:
"Just trying to lead by example each and every day. I have to be positive so that guys can feed off of my energy"
On playing without Amida Brimah
"It's tough. When he is actually out of the game it's a huge different. He is our backbone and we rely on him a lot. I think today really showed how much we missed Amida."
