exactly
We did exactly what we had to do offensively. We executed better, which is what we had to do.

We won the Evansville game differently than we won the Missouri State game, for example. Whether it's rebounding or free throw shooting or defense or offensive execution, it's been something different each game for us.

When we shoot well, we're pretty darn good. We always try to defend and rebound, but we look better when we make shots. Today, we were pretty hard to guard.

We've got good players, and I thought we were in a pod we were very capable of winning if we played well.

We guarded out tails off all day. We got every stop we needed until the very end.
