I was just trying to make a play. I didn't think he was set, but the referee gave him the call.
More Quotes from Devan Downey:
What I've been telling my teammates is let's go out and win. If we just go and lay down and get beat the first round, the (NCAA) Selection Committee is going to say, 'I told you. They can't even win a game in the NIT. What makes you think they deserved to be in the (NCAA) Tournament' So I just told them let's go out and play hard and win it, just to prove everybody wrong.Devan Downey
I think they need to go ahead and give it to him, just for recruiting. What are we playing, besides me, we have four seniors playing 20-plus minutes. And then there's me and (junior Cedric McGowan). You have to look to the future.

It just rimmed out. I ain't going to beat myself up saying that I lost the game. I've hit a lot of free throws at the end of games to seal the deal. Sometimes they go my way. Sometimes they don't. Today they didn't.

It's hard to get up for the NIT, but after the ball jumped up, we've got to play. It's not like the selection committee is going to call us and tell us to sub for somebody. We're already here, we might as well play.

I didn't know how much time was on the clock. I was going to hold it for one shot. Then I looked up and saw five seconds left, so I just took off with it.

The fans still support us, everyone thinks we got screwed a little bit. I think we'll have a decent crowd. We should fill up a couple of seats. I think the fans of Cincinnati are good enough people to support us and not turn their backs on us.
