Tovarich: Another shockingly easy win over them. Nice to win this thing for the first time in 3 years.
Reporter: Why do you match up so well with the Cajuns?
Tovarich: They lack height down low for sure. And the big guys shot how they should almost always shoot against smaller guys. That said, I can probably point to 88 games in my career where we constantly got dominated defensively, offensively, rebounding by small guys. Then obviously they lack depth. Only 8 guys play and the one just got in for a quick minute. We have great depth. I didn't even press them at any point or they'd really have been exhausted. It's an experienced starting 5 for sure, but they need more depth and they need more height. Very athletic team, but we can usually take advantage of them.
Reporter: Joe Lunardi has you as a 5 seed. Is that what you expect?
Tovarich: Maybe we'll get lucky and move up to a 4. Big difference between playing these Memphis and Air Force type 12 seeds and maybe getting a Hofstra or a Long Island or a Boston U. Enormous difference. We'll need some luck.
