UAB head coach Mike Anderson
On the Blazers' shooting performance:
"It was just one of those nights. We've had games where its been the opposite of that. It was good to see and I think we're a much better shooting team than we've been showing."
On the play of UAB's bench:
"I think more than anything else they were kind of tentative. When we've got our starters like Squeaky (Johnson), and Demario (Eddins), they're like the head to a body. In that second group, we didn't have anyone who was really running the show."
Belmont head coach Rick Byrd
On UAB's up-tempo style of play:
"I think that anybody who plays that style is difficult for anybody to play, and particularly a team like us."
On the loss:
"I really thought we had quality shots in the first half, but I think our problem was more at the other end of the floor. I think they got too easy of shots and they shot the ball much better than they have been."
