About the depth displayed in this game…
"We're just getting better. Our leaders, they did what we asked. I wanted them to play the game a little easier. Move the ball, take good shots, make the extra pass. We're not selfish by any means. We got a couple of scrimmages amongst ourselves and against other people, but what we found is we got to keep the offense going and make the easy play. We have shown that we can do it and now we want to do it in more stretches. And on the defensive end we just have to sustain. Too many young guys out there to sustain all the time. It's tough but our standard is our standard."
Orlando Robinson, Fresno State junior forward
About his the type of game he played…Â
"I feel like I was good from the field by playing slow and playing with my teammates and looking for the right shots. I just focused in on letting the offense flow through me and my patience is what really helped those opportunities."
