HEAD COACH JASON BURTON AFTER THE GAME
 - Thoughts on the fast start: "I asked the team to come out of the gate. I thought we've been slow out of the gate the last few games and we really set the tone in that first quarter. And we never let up for 40 minutes. I thought that everybody that touched the floor played well. I felt that Tac was the player of the game tonight."
On the turnovers: "We only had seven turnovers. That has to be a season low for us. That's huge. The more we can get extra possessions in a game.
