"I felt really good about a lot of things in this game, especially playing our third game in five days and coming off a really emotional win against St. Louis," Stanford head coach Kyle Smith said. "You never know how exactly how your team's going to handle it. I thought our guys handled it really well -- came out and shot the ball really well."

"That's how you really kind of want to be, the democratization of our point distribution," Smith said. "Obviously, Ebuka has been tremendous, and I think that's just the next step. There are some other guys and they're going to try."
