What they’re saying
“Winning on the road is always hard, especially in this environment, which is one of the most historic in college basketball. We had been having trouble turning the ball over, and we ended up with 16 turnovers again. That led to 17 points for them. But we were able to battle and compete throughout the game as they connected. And this was a big win for us just because we're coming off two losses, and we needed something to get back on the right side.”
— Jai Lucas, Miami Hurricanes Head Coach
“That was a great atmosphere. Nice to have the Bay Area have a Stanford-Cal game like that. I wish we would have done our part, played a little better. Some big swings in that game, I love the way we came out, up 29-13. ... Obviously, they weren't going to (keep shooting) that way. They're a good shooting team.”
— Kyle Smith, Stanford Cardinal Head Coach
