11/13/10 | Men's Basketball
Oregon - North Dakota State, 97-92 (OT)
Eugene, Ore.
---------------
Joevan Catron, F #34
On the game:
“The game was very tough, very physical, it shocked us. It's always great to start off with a win, it brings chemistry to the team. The win tonight was a boost of our confidence. We had to set the standards high and get the win.”
On Johnathan Loyd:
“Eight assists and no turnovers is perfect for a freshman. He played great.”
---------------
Jay-R Strowbridge, G #55
On the win:
“It was a lot of relief and joy that the hard work paid off. Our character showed, we stayed together as a team and finished the game.”
On the game:
“We have a lot to learn from this, we need to get better on our offensive rebounds. Once we started sharing the ball and playing as a team, we could get the win.”
On his good game:
“My teammates and coaches kept encouraging me; I couldn't have done it without my team.”
---------------
Dana Altman, Oregon Head Coach
On the win:
“Our two seniors stepped up down the stretch. You want to get your first win; I felt so good for Joevan (Catron) and Jay-R (Strowbridge). They bring so much to the team.”
On the game:
“We made a lot of fundamental mistakes that we have to clean up, but we showed a lot of resiliency. I'm disappointed with our rebounding, we're not a big team, but we can rebound better than that.”
On Johnathan Loyd:
“I thought Johnathan played really well. I though he did a good job playing hard, he played with a lot of poise. He focuses a lot in practice and we wanted him to be the one to make those free throws.”

Saul Phillips, North Dakota State University Head Coach
On close game:
“We had a lot of turnovers, and we didn't get it done. E.J. Singler won the game for them. He had four three's in the second half.”
“They are going to get a lot better. Dan Altman is a very good coach.”
On foul trouble:
“We were just not quite good enough. We are on the verge of playing good basketball.”
On halftime locker room feeling and going into overtime:
“Our guys have been in some big moments, played in NCAA games, and all played in big venues. We were trying to correct what we were doing. It was the jumper that split the game open. Joevan Catron and E.J. Singler were hard to handle.”
