Everything Mike Schwartz said after ECU's 60-59 loss to North Texas

A frustrated East Carolina coach Michael Schwartz sat at the podium to address the media after the team's heartbreaking 60-59 loss on Wednesday night to North Texas inside Minges Coliseum. Just moments earlier, ECU appeared to have a dramatic game-winning shot from RJ Felton with 3.1 seconds left, only to see North Texas execute a cross-court pass, potentially with the help of a push-off, to lay in a go-ahead shot with 1.3 seconds left.

Schwartz addressed the media after the contest, with his right hand bandaged and bloody, presumably after punching something out of frustration. He was asked about the push off, the final sequence of the game, and more. Here's everything he had to say.

OPENING STATEMENT

"Very tough loss for us. Obviously a very disappointed locker room. Frustrated. Just weren't able to obviously make the plays down the stretch. And North Texas did. Very good North Texas team, they're undefeated in this conference for a reason. They're the program they are for a reason. They've established it over many, many years and a lot of respect for them, and just tough loss for our guys. And we have to find a way to bounce back from this."
