QUOTABLE
Head Coach Richie Riley:
"I loved our guys' approach today. Senior Day is really special to me, it always is. These guys put a lot of time in and work really hard, so we always want to send them out a winner. We were able to do that in a big way today. You couldn't have drawn it up much better…I got after our guys after that first media timeout, and they really responded. We got great contributions from a lot of different guys. That run we were on in the first half was really special. [Parham] kind of spearheaded it, he got us going. Not only scoring the ball, but his ability to find guys too. Jamar Franklin also came in and gave us some juice…We are starting to get production from a lot of different guys, and that's what makes us dangerous."
