Ole Miss head coach Rod Barnes:
(On the game)
"We've been playing some good ball, but we still have a lot of work to do. Give credit to Southeastern Louisiana. They slowed down the game and made us foul."
(On being ranked #23 in the Associated Press poll)
"I am pleased with the ranking. I think our guys are deserving of it. They have worked very hard."
Ole Miss senior center Rahim Lockhart:
(On the game)
"Our team shot well and gave me a lot of opportunities to take good shots. It has been an emotional week. It is hard to focus on a game when we are in the middle of taking final exams, but our team is good at fighting adversity."
Southeastern Louisiana head coach Billy Kennedy:
(On the game)
"I thought we did some good things tonight even with our injury difficulties. Against an SEC opponent, you have to do everything right. We fouled too much and missed too many free throws."
(On guarding Ole Miss senior Rahim Lockhart)
"We could not guard the big guy. We would have liked to have kept him further away from the basket, but we didn't. Also, they started going with two big men and that hurt us."
