He's a strong rider and definitely one of the best at getting loose balls off the ground for us. He's also one of the best inside finishers in the nation and makes defenses respect his inside play.

We played a strong game, they just played better that day.

We prepared well for Robert Morris and knew what we were going to face.

Obviously we weren't pleased with our record at the beginning of the year, but we continually looked at the positives. We have improved every week since North Carolina.

Although it's unfortunate that we didn't play Duke last weekend, we've had two very good weeks to prepare for Robert Morris and other upcoming conference games. It was also nice having the weekend off to heal various injuries.

That foul hurt us before the half, but we knew a run was coming. We just wanted to stay close, as obviously they have a few more athletes. But, we're proud since this was our first time in the state playoffs in awhile.
