Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"We've had some stretches where we've been outstanding defensively. We need to keep working to extend those stretches, but the guys did a nice job getting us started on defense tonight."
"I've been impressed with Shane. We've talked in the off-season about being efficient, and he's been outstanding. Making great decisions, getting teammates involved, scoring when he needs to. We have a very deep team, with a lot of guys deserving to play, so it's been nice to get some minutes for them these past few games."
