Creighton at Drake
Player and Coach Quotes
Jan. 22, 2008

Drake Coach Keno Davis
“Our guys aren't lacking for confidence, for sure. I think the amount of shots they made on us in the first half, we just felt like we were going to be able to make some changes defensively so they wouldn't get as many open looks. We hoped the pressure defense would tire them out, even though they play a deep bench. Our guys played extremely hard.”

Drake Guard Adam Emmenecker
“This is one of the toughest places to play and it's a place we haven't had too much success. Creighton came out and played well tonight, and it took a great effort from us to even get a chance to win in the end. We were lucky to come out with a win tonight.”

Drake Forward Klayton Korver
“I think the next win is always the biggest win. It's a big win when you come here, it's a tough place to play.”

Creighton Coach Dana Altman
“We are disappointed. We didn't throw the ball inside and didn't do a good job of looking in there. We have to be a better rebounding team. In the second half, they got those second-chance points that eventually were the difference in the game. We had our opportunity, but just weren't tough enough to finish it. That's a tough loss.”

Creighton Forward Dane Watts
“I think we gave them some easy shots that they started hitting in the second half. We didn't come out (in the second half) and get the key stops that we needed. They hit some big shots and got their energy going. We just weren't tough enough to make the plays tonight to finish the game. They out-played us tonight.”

Creighton Guard Cavel Witter
“We started relying on the three-ball on the perimeter. They didn't fall like they usually do and that really turned the table for us. They brought a lot of energy in the second half and wanted it more. We had a lot of opportunities to win this game.”

Creighton Guard Kaleb Korver
“It is rough playing your brother (Drake forward Klayton Korver). The majority of the time, I want him to do well, but tonight is a little different. I want my brother to do well, but at the same time I wanted to win. It was a night of mixed emotions.”
