In the first half, neither team was stopped offensively. In the second half, they started stopping us and they kept making shots, and too many of them were open looks.

I'm glad we beat a really good team tonight. We really needed this.

They just came after us and we weren't able to handle it. Their pressure on our guards really bothered us.

They were the aggressive team. They have some guys that like to bang in there and we have guys that like wide open spaces - the prairie guys.

It seemed like he was all over the court.

Not that many people interested in Northwestern and Purdue, huh?

Then they got some penetration and they started to look for Dials.

They had a stretch where they turned the ball over a bunch of times, but we were doing the same thing on the other end, so it's only a matter of time before they get going, and they did that.

They had to replace so much. They're still overachieving in my mind.

This is a big win for us. Because we haven't had any big wins in the conference against the top-tier teams.
