Few minutes the victory that allowed the Red Raiders to play the Hall of Fame Tip-off against Northwestern on Sunday at 4 pm CT, coach Beard briefly spoke with media attending at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
He praised the performance of senior guard Keenan Evans, who had a 29-point night, but he was also happy about the entire team, that showed a solid effort. In addition, he discussed the physicality of the team, as it has to be the key for many games during the season.
Evans and senior forward Zach Smith, who almost hit a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds, shared their feelings.
