Head Coach Craig Robinson
On the game...
"I was really disappointed. We knew it was going to be a high intensity game because it was senior day, and I didn't think we came out with the effort that matched their intensity. We fought our way back, and then just got back in to the same cycle. It was the guys at the end of the bench that brought us back. I put the starting guys back in; your best players have to help you in situations like that."
On Oregon State's defense...
"We would get stops, and wouldn't come up with the rebound or loose ball. Of late, it has been a problem; I've got to address that. We've got three home games which are all potentially winnable games. We have to rise to the occasion to salvage some of this conference season."
On Oregon State's backcourt play...
"[The backcourt being outplayed] hasn't happened all season that I can remember. I will give them that they are due a bad game, but we are working on trying to get good and get better. I thought tonight we took a step back. I'll have to take a look at the tape, but when you play a team at the top of the league on senior night, after you've beaten them once, you have to come with more than we came with."
Sophomore guard Roberto Nelson
On coming back from an early deficit...
"We made some shots and got in a rhythm. We came out hard and executed on offense to fight back from the deficit at the beginning of the game."
On playing in front of his dad...
"It feels good playing in front of him again. I was hoping to get a couple wins in front of him, but that didn't happen. Hopefully there are more wins to come in the future."
On Oregon State's four game losing streak...
"It is definitely impacting us a little bit. We take losses tough there. Everybody is extremely competitive. We know we have to go back on Monday - or whatever day we have practice - and give it our all to get a win."
