Todd Golden talks about win over Richmond Spiders

I thought we did a really, really good job from start to finish. (Sophomore wing) Riley (Kugel) got the assignment in the first rotation and with his size and athleticism, he does a really good job of affecting smaller guards because he can stay in their space and stay in their hip pocket and when either Riley came out or [senior guard Zyon Pullin] came in the game, he did a really fantastic job as well and I thought we just wore him down a little bit.

You know, we had two great defenders, good athletes, on him and he never got to play in space, which is something he’s really good at doing, especially off that ball screen.

Those guys did a great job of fighting over it and getting back in front and allowing our bigs to drop and take away that two-man game in the middle of the floor. And even though (Richmond center Neal) Quinn’s numbers were pretty good, I thought we did a pretty good job on him, wearing him down, getting him in foul trouble.

He was minus-22 on the night so obviously things went our way when he was in the game.
