“As good a win as we’ve had all year." - Niko Medved on his team’s win against Nevada.

 

 

“I just told Maldo to get as far down the floor as possible, knowing we have shooters in the corner and (Jeremiah Oden) and Graham (Ike), who can create offensive rebounds,. We did a good job of getting it in, and Maldo had some momentum. That’s why we had him take the ball out of bounds, because he’d have some momentum coming downhill. We work on that shot ... and it was good to see it go in.” - Jeff Linder on his team’s win against AFA.
