So we have tremendous respect for them and know just how good they are.

JIM BOEHEIM: I love Allen Griffin. He's the best. He's rooting for Dayton, trust me, but there's a little part of him inside that's he's got Orange, don't worry, you know that. The most unique thing, Allen Griffin started as a sophomore, had a pretty good year. His junior year I sat him, I started somebody else. And that normally is transfer or I hate you, I'm not going to ever do anything for you. He worked right through it and ended up contributing, making a big contribution that year after that. And he's one of the best I've ever had. And when I knew there was an opening, I called Archie and I said 'this is a guy that would be an absolute great coach for you' and I think he has been, I think he's one of the best ever.

MICHAEL GBINIJE: We have to take what the defense gives us. They were trying to run us off the line, you've got to attack the basket strong and eventually that will open up the 3-point shot.
TREVOR COONEY: They're a really good defensive team and that's what they're known for. I think we're able to get the movement that we want to get and getting in the lane and make plays, we'll get the shots we want.
