The key for us was our defense. Our 'D' puts us in a position to go on a run like we did.

In spurts, he's been dominant. He really played well early tonight, he got us started on the glass. He also played really well late, on both ends of the floor. He's very valuable to our team because he can do so many different things for us.

Mark will give us a physical presence on the interior. He has good court awareness, make good decisions and has an unselfish approach that will help will make him a good fit in our program.

There's no question that at time [the technical foul] put us in control of the game. We were able to step up and make some free throws, and from that point we were definitely in control of the game.

Somehow in the locker room we lost our intensity. Defense is so important to us. When our intensity drops, we're not as tough defensively and we rely on our defense to start our offense.

Ultimately, our defense let us down the entire week, and we were unable to generate a lot of offense or come up with clutch hits.
