18 Quotes by Erik Crawford

Last year, there were some nights we'd play defense, then some nights we would let our offense just do it.

Right now I'm just so overjoyed that we're in. It's a great feeling.

I was a little slow rotating over there and made a dumb foul.

We had opportunities to step up and make plays, and we didn't.

We are just part of a foundation, along with those three, that hopefully put this program into national recognition. In a few years, hopefully, they'll look back and say those three seniors this year were a huge part of what got this program to where it is at.

We love people knowing who Northern Iowa is. It's a great accomplishment for us as seniors and for the coaching staff. To say we'd rather be unknown, I don't think we would.

We've been around long enough to know that defense gives you a shot to win any game. We've done a pretty good job of almost demanding it from everyone else this year.

To be down that whole game, to fight back with our backs against the wall on the road, and Benny hitting that shot, that was something you don't forget.

Before, it was more of an individual deal. Sometimes we'd get beat and other guys wouldn't be there to help out. This year, everyone is watching out for each other.
