I thought he was our strongest big today, we really needed his size against Cohen, he wasn't perfect against him, but he was able to guard him better than the other two. 3 big baskets too.

A fun time at the Ryan Center even though I got in the building late. The line outside the building was something I had not experienced prior to today. Free throw shooting down the stretch was abysmal luckily it did not cost us due to our 3 point shooting.
