Bobby Cremins
On Tony White, Jr.'s play
"I love it when seniors, that have payed the price, come through for you. To see Tony White, Jr. make a play like that is something. They did a good job denying Goudelock but Tony made a great play."
Speaking on the atmosphere of the game
"It was a great game. The atmosphere was incredible and I am so proud of our fans, of our students, to see them produce that type of atmosphere."
About Wofford's game plan and CofC's response
"Everyone knew that Wofford's game plan was to pound it inside and that we'd have trouble stopping that. We were just trying to keep the lead. I figured, if we can't stop them but we have the lead, that's fine."
"As long as we have the lead, let's just keep going. Then, it disappeared. We were up 10 at one point then we got a little impatient. Matt Sundberg made a big three but missed some other shots. The biggest thing I told the team tonight, was let's be ourselves. Let's not go crazy because Jeremy Simmons is out. I just didn't want [Andrew] Goudelock to go out and try to win it himself."
Commenting on quality of Wofford's team
“It says a lot about our league. This team beat Georgia and South Carolina and almost beat Pittsburgh, losing by three, on the road, but our league does not get the credit it deserves. This was great for our league. We moved this game to national television and I did it because I like Wofford coach Mike [Young] and I did it because I want our league to get exposure. People don't know our league”.
On facing Western Carolina
“Western Carolina is really good. They had one of the signature wins in our conference, beating Louisville on the road and I believe they beat Bradley. They've got everybody back and I've known Larry [Hunter] for years. It should be a really good atmosphere up there and it's going to be another battle”.
Willis Hall
On his workman like performance
“I just carry the lunch pail everyday, that's all I'm here to do. If I get two, then I get two. If I get five, I get five. If I get 16, I get 16. As long as we win, that's all that matters.”
Tony White, Jr.
Speaking on the play of the Cougars' bench
“I felt like, earlier in the preseason, that our freshman are the best in the country. That's how much confidence I have in them. We practice everyday and I see what they can do. They go through their ups and downs during a season, and that's to be expected, but when big games are on the line, they show up. They've been a big part of our success so far.”
Donavan Monroe
On earning a hard fought victory
“All of our conference games are going to be tough because every team is going to come for us. I don't know that this is the toughest game that we've had but we came out and played hard. We did what we had to do in order to get the win. We find a way to get it done.”
