From the Source
• Colgate head coach Bill Cleary: (On the game) "We dug ourselves a big hole that we couldn't climb out of. The disappointing part was there wasn't as much intensity as we had Friday, and we were very undisciplined. With our style of play, we must be disciplined, otherwise we will make life very difficult for ourselves. But it's a process. We're learning a new system and there's no doubt in my mind we are going to get there.
 
(On St. Bonaventure) "You have to give them a lot of credit. Their tradition really helped them out today, without question. These two games were great tests for us and we can build off them and get stronger.
 
(On Wednesday against Cornell) "We can't wait to be home. Hopefully, we'll be able to come out with the same intensity we had at Providence, if not exceed it."
