all right coach got off to a sluggish start ended up shooting 58.3% from the floor the highest shooting percentage from Yukon ever in a Big East Tournament game what did you say to the guys in the locker room to make a turn around like that it was a little bit of uh just raising the intensity level I think to uh a playoff game mentality and then um I think some of it was just I think they had the advantage of playing in here yesterday um just took us a while to kind of get going and uh you know
and kind of get a feel for the game and uh you know we showed our quality in a second half looked like you ramped things up defensively attacked more in the paint outscored them in the paint 36 to 10 in the back half what adjustments did you make we weren't making a tough enough on their guards I think uh you know those three guards are you know impressive last night the three of them basically went for you know 60 plus as a group so uh I think we forced them out of the scoring area better made
their catches harder you know when they caught it in position to go make a play you know we we helped off of individuals that we could help off of and uh forced them into bad shots that led into led us into transition and then we weren't in transition we executed Donovan struggled in the first half Samson came in put up eight how impactful was he in this win it's an embarrassment in riches when you have two centers like that and they're two different types of centers you know Samson made some in
credible Splash plays and then uh you know when Kling Kong got it going in the second half uh you know he uh you know he showed that he's one of the most impactful players in the country you guys are 5 and0 at MSG this season how big was the Yukon fans and what do you expect for them tomorrow when you need that win too yeah tomorrow uh regardless of who we play here one of the locals here um you know it's it's going to be a fun environment it's uh um you know we're very comfortable here we've pl
ayed great in here we've shot well in here had some huge huge wins in here so um you know tomorrow night whether it's seon hall or St John's uh I think semi-final night at at MSG is a special night thanks coach congratulations thanks thank you
