There were arms all over him. We probably got fouled a bunch of different places, but he is so big he was still able to get it up there.

This was our best overall effort of the season. The team played so smart tonight. We had only 13 turnovers - a season-low. We also went 13-for-15 (86.7 percent) from the line -- a season-best.

The boys had an outstanding second half. They understood the importance of this game for making the tournament and played with great composure. Every player contributed something to the effort tonight.
