Quotable: Head Coach Pat Estepp

"I was really proud of our guys tonight. OVU has played a lot of people tough and played a very tough pre-conference schedule. So, like us, their record is deceiving.

"We had a lot of different guys step up and make plays for us. We have been working on transition offense and having a more balanced offense this week and I felt like those are two areas where we were good tonight.

"A.P. (Pickett) and J.C. (Faubion) really got us going in the first half. Credit OVU, every time it looked like we might pull away they would make a run back. Our bench really played well, too.

"Finally, our offense got back on track largely without Marcus (Reineke) having a great night. We need to value the ball better, but happy with the balance and unselfishness we showed."
