POSTGAME QUOTES
SMU Head Coach Matt Doherty
(on SMU's poor shooting)
"We should have won this ballgame. We shot 28 percent and we had good shots. I guess that is going to happen from time to time."
(on SMU's good defense and taking care of the ball)
"Our zone defense was good and we really slowed Marshall down. We took reasonable care of the basketball, but we only had 10 assists. That is where shooters need to make shots and we didn't."
(on the rally from 8 points down with a minute to play to have a 3-point shot to tie at the buzzer)
"I thought our players did a great job late game situations - we pressed and got some turnovers. Donatas made a great pass to Epps for a 3-pointer. We got some good looks, and Dez did a great job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line.
(on Ike Ofoegbu's 18 points and 16 rebounds)
"Ike had a great statistical game, but I want more energy out of him. He has really played great over the last several games."
NOTES
- Ike Ofoegbu had his seventh double-double (18 points, 16 rebounds). His 16 rebounds are a career-high and the most by an SMU player in a Conference USA contest.
