• Quick recaps from Josh Shertz postgame presser: Didn't feel like we deserved to win that game, we got outplayed for most of the 40 minutes … but proud of our guys, resilience to stay in there, show some grit, show some fortitude, find a way without Robbie.³⁾ Don't let the final nine seconds minimize what happened in the first 39 minutes and 51 seconds. If Swope misses that 3 and we lose 71-70, the reasons we would have lost are still there. We've got to be much cleaner with the ball. The turnovers are maddening.⁴⁾
• SLU quote: “I don’t know if I’ve ever walked out winning a game understanding less how we won the game.”⁵⁾
