Quotes from the UNLV basketball team’s 76-68 loss to South Alabama on Friday at the Thomas & Mack Center:
Coach Marvin Menzies
“I still think we had enough firepower to win. It seemed like every time we made a run, they hit a three. It was like, ‘Seriously? My first game?’ No. 10 (Georgi Boyanov) buried a three every single time we made a run. I’ve got to give them credit.”
“They were big, strong, athletic guys that played harder than we did tonight. That’s the thing that is disappointing is I know we can play better than we played.
