March 14, 2009

 

 Boston University head coach Kelly Greenberg

Opening Remarks:

“I give our girls a lot of credit. We didn’t hit free-throws, we missed layups, and we just gutted it out and figured it out somehow.

 

“Binghamton is the best offensive rebounding team in the conference. There’s no question they’re great at it.”

 

“We came out with a lot of energy, made early shots, things were going our way and then it just stopped. We know that we’ve got to figure it out so that it doesn’t happen again tomorrow.

 

Boston University senior guard Amarachi Umez-Eronini

On whether there is fatigue heading into championship tomorrow:

“We’re not fatigued after last night’s game. It wasn’t so much physical fatigue as mental.  After last night’s game we had a lot of time to think about ourselves, about what can we do to better ourselves and to play within ourselves. .. Play better as a team.”

 

Boston University senior forward Jesyka Burks-Wiley

On getting up big and losing the lead before halftime:

“We were getting really easy shots and things were flowing for us. Then it stopped.  Maybe early in the game we were relying on our offense and once our offense wasn’t going, we realized we had to really turn up our defense.”

 

Binghamton head coach Nicole Scholl

Opening Remarks:

“They’ve really found a way to keep winning games and they’re a tough team to play.”

 

“I’m really proud of our players. At the beginning, we got down and could’ve given up but we didn’t. We kept on fighting and unfortunately, came up short in the end.”

 

Binghamton senior center Laura Franceski

On playing with four fouls:

“We had to focus on our team defense, stay aggressive, but try to stay smart. There was a sense of urgency that we have to get this done and we need to play our defense we know how.”

 

Binghamton freshman forward Viive Rebane

On giving up the big lead to Boston U. to start the game:

“I think we were just nervous in the beginning.”
