Postgame Quotes

Sam Houston State Head Coach Bob Marlin
Opening Statement - "We got a great win against a good team last night against Nicholls and today Southeastern gave us a great game as well. I thought we were Kentucky for a second the way Sullivan and and Roosevelt were blocking our shots. Two of the top 10 blockers in the country. We ran into some foul trouble late losing Clavell but were able to overcome that and make some big plays. Allmond and Pevehouse really stepped up big for us today and shot the three-ball well. Down five points Ashton Mitchell gets a steal and later Southeastern had a back court call. Very proud of our guys, we played hard and it was a great win over a very good Southeastern team."

Sam Houston State junior guard Lance Pevehouse
On shooting performance - "Every night I come off the bench and just try to give our team a spark and it just so happened the last two games I've been able to contribute more than usual. I'm just really happy to help my team win and to be in finals."

Sam Houston State senior guard Corey Allmond
On performance today - "It was my teammates and my coaches still believing in me. I can't get down on myself if they're still believing in me and that helped me pick up my game and become more comfortable with my shots.

Southeastern Louisiana Head Coach Jim Yarbrough
Opening Statement - "It was a great ball game for the fans to watch. It was a great game and a credit to our league and how competitive it really is. Obviously right now it's a very sad locker room to have our season end this way. We're still trying to wrap our minds around a lot of emotions. It feels like we let a lot of people down but we really didn't. All year we've battled back from injury and adversity. We've learned a lot. I give my team a tremendous amount of credit for just staying with it. I think their growth as men tonight in their courage is very evident as we continue to build a tradition that we can be proud of at Southeastern."

Southeastern Louisiana senior center Patrick Sullivan
On close game with Sam Houston State - "It was another close game for us. They've got some good players. Clavell is one of the top guys in the conference. We knew it was going to be a battle. Brown and Clavell put up a real battle for us down low. It didn't matter how I started, but how I finished."
