Colorado Head Coach Ricardo Patton
GENERAL: "I think one of the things that helped us was that we changed our defense a lot. We played three different defenses. We didn't think we could give them one steady diet of any particular defense. The best thing about this win is that we did it without David Harrison scoring a lot of points for us. That means other guys stepped up for us. I thought Lamar Harris played like a man the whole game, getting the huge rebounds."

ON A BALANCED ATTACK: "We had more guys step up and make plays, and that's what you've got to have. You can't have a team of three guys-David, Michel, and Blair."

ON CU'S PROGRESS: "I'm still trying to figure out our team. Even our older guys are a puzzle
sometimes."

ON WINNING A BIG 12 ROAD GAME: "It gives us hope. It also will hopefully convince the guys that what we've been preaching, as far as being patient, having discipline, and playing defense (is right) and it will sink in."

Nebraska Head Coach Barry Collier quotes
GENERAL: "The game was really a hard-fought game. Both teams went at each other. The game could have gone either way for a large portion of it. The difference in the game was Colorado's ability to get the extra possession with offensive boards and they shot the ball well from three. Morandais did a nice job in the first half. I thought they got inside on us too much. In the end that was the difference. The last six or seven minutes of the game they really shut us down. They made some difficult shots and they were able to rebound at inopportune times."

ON MORANDAIS AND WILSON'S SHOOTING: "Morandais jumped up and shot it in over us. He's a great athlete and most of his shots were off the dribble. We were into him, but he made great plays. He's a very good player. He can drive and shoot off the dribble. Obviously with us giving extra help inside on Harrison, it gave them the
opportunity for Morandais and Wilson to move around a little bit more. You kind of pick your poison there and we were trying to do both. The biggest thing overall was that we were trying to start by taking away the inside and they made us pay on the perimeter."

GENERAL: "It's our first road win, so we've already matched last year's output in the Big 12. This is big. We're not 0-2, we're 1-1. It's a great team win."

ON THE CU KEYS TO VICTORY: "Everything was working tonight, except for me. We played hard on defense and rebounded well and just wouldn't die tonight. We put two halves together and we won."

F John Turek
ON STARTING 0-2 IN THE BIG 12: "It hurts because it was two games we thought we had a pretty good shot at winning. It just means we have to work hard and get better each and every day. We can't dwell on the past, we just have to pick up a few more games."

ON STOPPING DAVID HARRISON: "I don't think we put too much emphasis on him, we just didn't execute other parts of the game plan that we worked on in practice."

G Jake Muhleisen
ON CU'S DEFENSE AT THE END: "I don't think they had any more defense than they had in the rest of the game. They just got used to our pattern and covered our shots."

ON LOSING MOMENTUM: "It takes some momentum away, but we'll work hard and get things done in practice and try for the win in Texas."
