On Vanderbilt’s play:

“The offense worked but the defense held us back.  They’re many teams that are going to have 26 points off turnovers and 46 points in the paint. We played as hard as we could, we just didn’t get it done.  There are plenty of games to go.”

 

Junior guard/forward Derrick Byars

“Every time we chopped into their lead we turned it over. We didn’t have any stops and it cost us at the end.  We didn’t have as much intensity for only having one team to focus on in 11 days.”

 

On Turnovers:

“They were uncharacteristic.  We don’t see it in practice; we don’t see it from our veterans or in the game.”

 

On Cincinnati’s players:

“Hick’s is quick and strong.  He wasn’t aggressive or assertive in the first half but took control in the second half.”
