We've got seven kids averaging between 8.4 and 16. That's a good indication that they know how to give the ball up and spread it around. We're not the kind of team you can shut down by shutting down one player.

It's good for us to play out here in Nimrod Nation. This is part of Gogebic County and we have fans and students out here, too.Deke Routheaux
Robert Wood's penetration was key to the win, especially after Nelson fouled out. He would drive and dish outside. He really created a lot of offense for us. It was a very competitive match. They're a much improved team, with a good coach who's turning that program around.

We've been in all 25 games going into the last three to five minutes. Even out in Arizona, we were competitive against some pretty good competition.

All we needed to do was make our free throws. We had some mental lapses with the ball down the stretch and missed six of our last seven attempts at the line.

Elliot had a nice game for us. Our young guys continue to improve. Those are the kind of contributions we're going to need from our freshmen as we near the tournament. Robert had another nice floor game for us with several assists, too.

The second half, I told them they have to defend every possession. Don't rest on defense and don't get impatient on offense. If you get behind, you have to be more patient than if you're ahead. We made a conscious effort to work the ball inside, where we had an advantage. Hagen hit those three threes and everybody loosened up.
