Mike White’s post game comments

"My goodness, as we talked about this morning, this team is really physical," head coach Mike White said. "They play really hard. There were going to be a lot of fouls called in the game. We knew that. There were going to be a lot of free throws shot. They were going to change defenses and extend their defenses throughout the game in different ways. And boy, it's a different look than we'll see all year, it really is. And they played really well in the first 20 until the buzzer. I mean, we were down 17 at half. And honestly, I didn't think we came out with the wrong approach – we had a really good shoot around and we had a really good practice yesterday. Our guys were fired up to tip it up and play in front of a big crowd – I want to say our biggest crowd this year. So we're appreciative. The crowd was a big factor there throughout the second half. We didn't give our crowd a lot to cheer for in the first 20. They had us on our heels offensively, and they hit a couple contested threes with just a little bit of miscommunication, and their confidence grew and they finished the latter part of the first half in a big, big way. Our culture came through, it did."
