Tovarich: I'd like to have seen what would have happened if their 7 foot center didn't get injured early in the game. That may have gone better for us. Their jumpshooting was Hawaii and New Hampshire-esque. Luckily they were sloppy with the passes. We kind of were too as 7 turnovers for us is pretty high, but since we had such a crazy height advantage, we were able to deflect a ton of passes that were going inside the arc. I don't know why they'd bother passing down in the post or in the paint at all, especially the way they were shooting. All 5 of their guys should have just stood outside the arc and shot it.

Reporter: So what did you learn about your team today?

Tovarich: Not much. It's easy basketball to dump the ball down to the big guys and score on a roster where everyone is 6'7" or shorter. That said, we still managed to miss some. Maybe shooting 100% is too much but when you have 4 guys 6'10" or taller and they defend you with guys 6'6' and 6'7", I actually think it should have been better than the 29/40 the bigs shot. Our perimiter defense must have at least something to do with some of the crazy shooting against us, I just don't know what else to do. I tell the defense to stay tight on guys and they just don't do it. That's probably the main problem.

Reporter: How about rebounding?

Tovarich: Yeah, pitiful as always lol. 14 rebounds for a game? Is that a record low? And we get outrebounded by the shortest team you'll ever see? It's embarrassing.

Reporter: Do you feel like you beat the #2 team in the country?

Tovarich: They barely rate higher than us with their 7 footer. They probably don't without him. They almost beat us shooting 65%. But obviously Bucknell beat them in their opener too. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with such a short roster until their C comes back in 3 weeks. They have a pretty light schedule with a weak Maui Invitational field and FIU before they get him back. I need them to help out my SOS.

Reporter: What do you expect from the tournament in Puerto Rico?

Tovarich: Looks like we got a cupcake opener there. There's a decent possible semifinal and then maybe a big school in the championship. If it turns out to be a lame group of opponents, I'll be upset because I could've gone to Fairbanks if I wanted that.
