Recap | Final Stats | Notes

Louisiana Tech head coach Eric Konkol: "It wasn't the type of game that we hoped. Give ODU credit. They're playing good basketball right now." "My plan was to play like we did the first few minutes of the game and move the basketball very quickly. We were playing with eight scholarship players and we were trying to keep them out of foul trouble. We got in foul trouble and weren't able to press because of that." Louisiana Tech guard Alex Hamilton: "We just weren't making shots. Usually we have shots falling, and guys knocking down shots. Give credit to their defense though. They did a great job all-around." "They were more aggressive on their ball screen coverages. They just forced us to make outside shots and we were unable to." "They tried to slow the game up when we started the game fast. They started walking it up and made it a gritty game instead of our tempo. That had a big part to do with it." Louisiana Tech guard Erik McCree: "We got a little frustrated but we tried to keep plugging away and chip at the lead. But they stayed on the gas pedal and played a great game."
