North Dakota State is a physical team that beat us up in Fargo. They are a very aggressive team offensively.

He was huge down the stretch. David Heck, no question, stepped up for us when it counted at the end.

I thought Peter Brown give us a nice life in the first half and I thought Ben really answered the bell in the second half. There was some key buckets that Ben delivered on. I thought we competed hard and played with a lot of energy. This was a team win where everyone contributed.

They'll be the most athletic and the deepest team we've played.

I think that if you're sitting on the sidelines you could realize that a three-point shot is needed at those moments in time. Kids sometimes have some mental lapses, and unfortunately we had them.

I can't tell you how much he'll play, because he's not healthy. He's probably only about 75 percent. His role depends on his health, but he can help us.
