They take the most 3-pointers in the league and they have a 3-point threat kind of team, but they also have a very, very good inside player in A.J.

Give credit to Monmouth. The last couple of years they have outmatched us.

Its always important to have him. He was big for us tonight. He played well but I thought we all played well.

It took us awhile to get going but I thought once we got into the flow we started to wear them down. It was Senior Day and if you look at the stats, Lenny and Justin were really terrific.
