"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."
