This has been a great bounce-back game by Skillings. He's been great tonight.

The rebounding balance has been similar. This team is getting contributions from everybody.

YESSOUFOU hasn't looked very good minus the first game. Shooting has been off and his defense looks suspect.

He's just really raw. Much moreso than our last few one-and-done guys. He's plays really hard, but he just doesn't have a very refined offensive skill set.

I'm glad we got good Skillings tonight. He's been tenacious on the glass, and we've needed it against a much taller SDSU squad.

He's only had one bad game so far. I think his role on this team suits him well. He's not asked to be the guy. He just needs to be himself.

I expected some great offense from him since he is the all time scorer in California. Anytime he has the ball in his hands I feel like a turnover is coming.

We've really frustrated their bigs tonight, which is a great sign given that they're bigger than we are.

He's shown some pretty impressive flashes. He's had some really tough finishes in the paint. He's just raw. We need to get healthy again so we can get back to using strategic benchings to rein in his game.

This is a hell of a win because SDSU isn't a bad team. We found a new gear in the final 10 minutes of this game.

With only 7 guys playing a team that has gone 11 deep and almost all the minutes evenly divided for fresh bodies. WHAT AN EFFORT BEARS!!!!!

I agree, but I didn't mind that last one. It was in the flow of the offense, off of a drive and kick. Tounde just needs to hit that one.

We have nine turnovers as a team tonight and are only averaging 11 per game. We've taken pretty good care of the ball so far this season. And Rataj's turnover numbers are a little high, but not crazy for a guy who helps run the offense more than most frontcourt players.
