Our bench really came through in this game. Robert Todd (Spalding) scored eight points in the first half and Joey (Reed) knocked down those back-to-back threes in the second half. That was the difference in this ball game.

We scored zero points off the bench. It's impossible to win a game like that when all five of your starters have all your points. If we played like we played in this tournament the whole year, we would've finished first or second and wouldn't have had to run into (HBU) this early.

We ended up with nine turnovers in the second half and they scored 14 points off our nine turnovers, which is something we can't do if we want to win on the road.

After I scored 29 points in the first quarter, I didn't think much of it. After I had 58 points at the half, and especially after having in the 80s after the third quarter, I just decided to go for it.

They (Minnesota) shot 67 percent in the first half and 55 percent for the game with 40 points in the paint. That's not really the trademark of how we want to play.

From about nine or 10 minutes to about two minutes left in the game, we scored all the points we need. We just don't get any stops. We don't get any stops because of the offensive glass. It's all about the offensive glass. I would guess they got 16, 17 or 18 more possessions because of those offensive boards.
