Alabama A&M Coach Vann Pettaway Postgame Quotes
On Nebraska
"They've got a good ball club and that's why they have the record that they do. Doc Sadler is doing a great job. They have better players than us. It will take our freshmen awhile to learn how to play at this level."

On the end of the first half
"Nebraska got momentum and got their confidence going. We couldn't hit our shots and they went into the locker room with a lot of confidence."

On his team's defensive effort
"Our defensive effort is not what I'd like it to be at this point in the season. We gave up 15 offensive rebounds and you can't win when you give up 15 offensive rebounds."
