Boston College Head Coach Al Skinner
"It was clear that we were very disappointed (following the Virginia Tech game). We had to make a decision on where we wanted to be. Because of the way the league is playing out, we still have opportunities because everybody is winning and everybody is losing. We had to make a decision on whether or not we wanted to stay in the race or if we are going to give up on the race."
"Even though we have five losses in the league, we can still have an impact considering the remaining part of the schedule and the people we have to play, we can still have an impact in this league and today we took a step towards that."
"I am not going to say that this was the best 40 minutes, but it's obviously a great game for us considering the success Miami has had. I think they are an outstanding ball club. They do some things that I don't think anybody else in the league can do. I think they are an extremely tough matchup for us, but I think we have been very, very fortunate to win both of those games."
Boston College Guard Ryan Sidney
"The intensity for this game is way different than all the rest have been. I can guarantee you for the next six games there's going to be the same"
"Everyday there is something to prove from now on. We lost a couple of games that we should have won and for the long run it is going to all work out for the best."
Miami Head Coach Perry Clark
"I thought the key to this game was BC's ability to rebound the basketball. I thought they really did a great job. Despite our height advantage, we still weren't able to get critical rebounds at important times. (Ryan) Sidney certainly stepped up, and I thought whether or not it was getting a rebound or whether, or not it was driving with the basketball or hitting a big shot. I thought that whenever they needed something big to happen for them, he really stepped up."
"They made a very good basketball team look very average."
