“They’re good. They’re really good on both ends of the court. They guarded really well. They executed offensively really well. They played with great purpose. For the first 20 minutes, they played harder than we did… If there’s a better team in their league, I’d like to see it.”
Festus Ezeli on his family being able to see his career-best performance last Saturday:

“It was the second time, they were here my freshman year. My mom moved to California this summer and my dad he flew in from Nigeria. I’ll remember this for a long time.”
