What Pearl, Broome and Green said after Tigers win

What Pearl, Broome and Green said after Tigers win

“That was a great win. We beat a really good team, quad one team, that will compete for the Atlantic 10 (Conference) Championship. It is hard to beat a good team twice, let alone three times – three out of the last four years. (Saint Louis Head Coach) Travis Ford is a great coach and we just had a little more. We had the best player on the floor tonight in Wendell Green Jr. He was the best one on the floor at Saint Louis and he was again today. Is it a coincidence that Yuri Collins is one of the Top 5 point guards in the country recognized by everybody? It probably does. That’s how Wendell keeps score. He’s special. I thought everyone contributed tonight and I thought there were a lot of real key contributions. Allen Flanigan, with his defense – 10 rebounds, nine on the defensive end – toughness, athleticism. K.D. (Johnson) getting to the rim, scoring through contact, and being there late when it mattered. Johni (Broome) had eight blocks and he made some tough baskets in there, obviously missed some shots around the basket. Those aren’t easy shots. When he gets to finishing more, we’ll be better. Jaylin Williams, there were times when he was really, really a guy who you could go to. Those guys played for 32 minutes. Jaylin and Wendell were probably pretty tired. That team’s been averaging 84 points in a game. They played Providence, Memphis, Maryland and they played us. They have played a great schedule, but for us to hold that team to 60 points, is very significant.”
