It's well-deserved. It's a nice honor for a great kid. He's just been a great kid to coach, he's a great student and he's represented our program in a very positive way. |
Jesse had a fine season and this is an outstanding honor for him. We know he will continue to work hard and hopefully this is a sign of more good things to come for him. |
Our defense all of a sudden got really good. I didn't think we were playing bad defense before that, they were just making their shots. We got a little better flow going, and they started missing a few. |
They were very aggressive on our 3-point shooters. When you shoot 31 percent, like we did in the first half, that's just not going to be enough. |
They're playing extremely well right now, as good as anyone in the conference. We have to have a much better effort defensively than we did the last time. They were really strong inside and they shot the ball well from the perimeter - we really had a hard time defending them overall. |
We definitely didn't play our 'A' game (against UND). But we only had five turnovers and just 10 fouls. It's rare to be able to do that on the road. |
We had just three players score in the first half. Scoring balance has been a problem for us all year. We really struggled with it. |
We probably got away with a few misses on open shots tonight. We made a lot of big shots when they got close tonight, which helped us quite a bit. |
You won't see a lot of emotion coming out of Turner. But he comes to play every day. |
