Recap |  Box Score

California Head Coach Ben Braun

On Akron:
"We asked them to go at Akron tonight. We really pounded in on them and that was our game plan. Thirty-three times at the line is a lot, and we made them pay."

"This was an important game for us to play. They are well-disciplined and well-coached."

"They were forced to go to the threes tonight, and they hit a pretty good percentage of them, especially in the first half."

"Leon Powe struggled early in this game and finished with a quiet 26. He just makes good plays and makes good decisions on the floor and looks to help his team."

"They're a pretty tough team, but I thought we were stronger with the ball. We can find open people and make free throws and we did that very well tonight in the second half."
