“Just a tremendous effort on the road where it’s really hard to win. We did the really hard things today. I thought we had tremendous energy on every aspect, on both sides of the ball. Our kids really did a good job of executing the game plan. To have 17 assists on 33 baskets, outrebound them by 12, and then to dominate the paint, 48 to 20, and then to get to the free throw line as much as we did, 18 times, just really proud of our team. I thought we had great balance. Everybody scored. That’s just a tremendous team effort in a really hard place to play. So a great bounce back from a little bit of adversity this week, and proud of our team. Just really happy.”
