QUOTES

"I just loved our defense, our energy, and our effort that we came out with in the second half. Tyrese [Proctor], I thought really got off to a faster start. For him to get 10 rebounds is a big deal. We took better care of the ball tonight, almost two to one in assist to turnovers. Rebounded well, and I was really proud of some of the guys off the bench. -- head coach Jon Scheyer on the start of the second half
"It was great. My big men were boxing out, I'm just getting their scraps. They've been great all year and it's going to be a huge thing for us moving forward." -- freshman guard Tyrese Proctor on his double-double with 10 rebounds
