Recap | Box Score | Notes

Head Coach Scott Drew
"As far as retro night, I think we want to go back to retro night every night. We were really proud of the way the team played tonight and the crowd was very enthusiastic. I was proud of the way we played in almost every phase and it was a great game for national TV."

"I think the players came out and wanted to make a statement tonight. They came out with great energy early and got the nice lead."

Aaron Bruce
"I think it was great. We had belief all along. We came so close to Oklahoma that it really made us concentrate and hit home that we are a good team and we can play with good teams."

Tommy Swanson
"We wanted to execute the game plan Coach Drew made up before the game. Everyone took care of their job and that's what made everyone play so well."

Patrick Fields
"This means everything to us. We wanted to come out here and make a statement. We knew the game was on national TV, so we wanted to represent Baylor the right way. We showed that every game we come out and give 115 percent."

COLORADO POSTGAME QUOTES:

Ricardo Patton, Colorado head coach
"It was a great effort by Baylor. The kids came out and played extremely well. They came out and made some shots early and we dug ourselves a little bit of a hole. I felt we were playing hard but we couldn't get the shots to go into the basket."

On the play of Aaron Bruce:
"Aaron is a terrific player. He could probably play for anybody in this league. I think he knows how to play. He really does a great job of running the team. He is just a point guard and those are hard to find."
