Filip- "I love to play in America."

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Tahaad on Filip- "He's a dawg. I know that's one player I don't have to worry about."

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Tahaad on his block -"top 5 (block) for sure"

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Pearl on turnovers forced in second half- "led to runouts and allowed us to get out into transition. We did a good job of converting in the second half off their turnovers."

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Pearl on Tahaad- "He's our best post defender"

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Pearl on players that could come back and how they performed- "We'd love for those guys to come back. I'm proud of them for taking a difficult situation and making the most of it. It's been great for them to fill in those minutes and doing some things we know they're capable of."

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Pearl on timeslot they've been placed in for semis- "So typical"

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Steven Pearl opening statement-
"We came out and respected them. I thought defensively for the first 30 mins we did a lot of good things and made a lot of improvement on that end of the floor."

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Nevada basketball head coach Steve Alford on Jovic - "I thought he was really good. Each game he got better and better. When he got doubled he never panicked."

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Four of five Auburn starters scored in double digits.

The only one not to was KO, who had been averaging 20 points a game the past two tournaments

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

FINAL
Auburn 75- Nevada 69

Exciting game to watch with multiple highlight plays. Auburn will now head to the great basketball state of Indiana to face Illinois State in the semis

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Nevada is not going away yet

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Tahaad just zipped a bounce pass on a fast break to Hall for the two hand flush

Tigers extend lead to 10 with under 3 mins left

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Nevada has now cut Auburn's lead to 6 with under 5 mins remaining.

Been a pretty physical game these last few mins

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

OMG TAHAAD

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Pretty sure that's Auburn ball...

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

SWA is down. It looks like he got hit in the mouth

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Freeman just wiffed a tomahawk dunk, and this crowd was about to go crazy

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

They have showed this one kid multiple times on the jumbo tron and he still hasn't noticed....

[William Halliday @wphalliday3]

Tahaad just went to the floor favoring his right knee. He got up quick though and seems to be alright after a minute
