Post Game Quotes

Oklahoma Head Coach Jeff Capel:

On Missed Opportunities: "I felt like we did some things well and we put ourselves in a position to have a chance. We just didn't take advantage of opportunities down the stretch. When we don't do those things it makes things tougher, especially on the road."

On Keon Lawrence and Stefhon Hannah: "Those two guys are very talented young men, Hannah has got to be the front runner for Big 12 newcomer of the year, and Keon Lawrence is as hot as any player right now. I think it shows the incredible confidence that not only Mike has but his team has."

On Leo Lyons: "He was a big key tonight, he provided a spark off the bench. Lyons came in and was really able to drive us and got to foul line. He really gave his team a big lift."

Missouri Head Coach Mike Anderson:

On Performance Down the Stretch: "Our guys hung in there and found a way to win in the end. I think that due to our maturation our guys understand a little more about how to win basketball games. We made plays and kind of locked down on our defensive intensity down the stretch when the game was in jeopardy."

On Leo Lyons: "I thought Leo was big tonight. He played a tremendous game. He had a couple of big three-point plays for us. There was a point where he seemed to grab every rebound down the stretch, and those are the types of plays you need to make to win games."

On Chances of Making NCAA Tournament: "The things we can control are the things we need to be focused on, we can't control some things that take place, but if it is meant to be, it's meant to be. Every game is a big game for our basketball team"
