Highlights: Richmond upsets Iowa 67-63 in the NCAA first round
Fran on the no-call on Kris Murray's 3: "I have not seen the replay. I remember Kris' reaction, which I think was pretty dramatic. I feel bad for him. Pretty good shooter, typically not going to shoot and miss by that much in that situation." But he didn't get a good look at it: "I'll just defer to the official on that."
Fran McCaffery: "The game was really physical. Normally we get to the free-throw line more often. I typically expect to shoot more than two free throws in the second half, especially the way we were driving the ball. Defensively, we were not where we needed to be."
Bohannon: "I can't even put into words what it's meant to be here wearing this jersey."
Bohannon's message to Iowa fans: "Thanks for giving me a chance. These have been some of the best years of my life." Tearing up as he describes his journey.
Connor: "We just didn't capitalize on a lot of the opportunities that we had. They just sent five guys back on defense so we didn't really get to run. ... At the end of the day, we just didn't play well. Missed a lot of shots."
Keegan: "It was lost from just missing open shots. Six-for-29 from the 3-point line, that's uncharacteristic for us." Feels like they got open looks, "they just weren't dropping."
Connor: "Probably the worst game we played all year and I don't think it's even close. Definitely not a good feeling in our stomachs right now."
Connor McCaffery: "Couldn't be feeling worse."
Keegan Murray: "They had a good game plan. We just missed open shots."
Jordan Bohannon: "I thought we played one of our worst basketball halves of the season in the first half and we were only down one."
Mooney: "I was very, very anxious about guarding such a prolific offensive team." But liked that he had multiple options to guard Keegan Murray. "He's a tremendous player but I thought we did a very good job on him."
Richmond's Jacob Gilyard: "I don't think we were too scared to play at their pace. We just had to guard, had to make it tough."
Mooney: "A great win for Richmond. We're very, very proud and very excited to advance."
Richmond Coach Chris Mooney: Great defense "against one of the best offenses in the country."
