SOUTHERN MISS HEAD COACH CORKY PALMER
"We knew Tubb would give us a stop if we could get our offense back in the game, and that's what happened. He gave us a stop and cooled them down."

"We've got a good offensive ball club. To hit .320 and hit as many homers as we've hit all year, we can hit. We're going to have to do it again in game two. It's going to be a hard game for both of us, when you get this deep in the tournament."

UAB HEAD COACH LARRY GIANGROSSO
"Now it's a one game tournament. You just have to play for nine more innings. We're going to fight, scratch and claw because that's the type of team we are. We'll come back at 4:00 and try to get this thing done. It's going to be a tough task because they have momentum now, but at the same time, we had momentum coming in this morning. You never know how things go in college baseball, we're just going to have some pitchers pitch well for us."
