Recap |  Box Score

UD HEAD COACH Jim Jabir

On winning in the A-10 postseason for the first time since 2001
"I am proud of our kids. We played really hard and played really well."

On the style of Friday's game
"There were a lot of fouls both ways. Their penetration really hurt us. We didn't rotate well enough, which made us take a lot of fouls. They were very, very quick. We were able to draw some fouls as well and thank goodness we made them."

On Dayton's play in the second half
"When we play hard, we play well. It is hard over the course of all these games that we play to have a certain intensity level. That is something that we have to learn if we are going to be any good."

On playing Temple in the Quarterfinals
"We have to gut it out. We have to play smart, play hard and get after it."
