Tovarich: Ugly shooting, but good win. Rare to get a power school to come to a place like this, so hopefully the fans enjoyed it.
Reporter: Both Riley and Marshall beat the press easily. Why do you think they didn't stop it sooner?
Tovarich: You'd have to ask them. I thought that was what one of the two timeouts they called in the first 5 minutes was for. We destroyed the press. We got maybe 3 turnovers from it, but we got a lot in the halfcourt defense. They were making a few too many passes and didn't really seem to find any urgency until it was too late.
Reporter: You were only -5 in rebounds. Does that seem promising against a power school?
Tovarich: I thought Shehan did a good job. They didn't have as much height as I'd have thought a big school would, so we'll see. I'm still holding off on judgment. They pulled the starting center pretty quick and put someone else in who did a better job rebounding, so I'm not even sure we were seeing their best center.
Reporter: Connecticut will be the first team you've played in your time here that is considered to be overall better than yours. Do you think it's a winnable game?
Tovarich: I don't know. I realize I likely scheduled a couple losses here with UConn, Texas and Cal on the road. If we get better at shooting than we've been these first two games, then maybe. Also imperative we don't run into any great big guys or any ridiculous efforts like UCLA in the tournament last year.
