Recap |  Box Score

California Head Coach Ben Braun

General comments:
"We really turned it on for a time there in the second half. We had some good spurts. Richard (Midgely), Rod (Benson) and Martin (Smith) all had some good energy out there for us tonight. I thought we made some good adjustments at the half and did a better job staying on our feet and getting defensive rebounds, and that really helped our defense."

"I talked to our team after the game and I told them that basketball is not always going to be pretty. It's about being tough and doing whatever it takes."

On the play of Richard Midgely:
"Richard's the kind of guy who plays better when he gets hit. He's a real competitor. He's been a leader. He's played tough. He was playing at a career-high level tonight."
