UD HEAD COACH Jim Jabir

"I think we are improving as a team and I like the way our kids held together and played as a unit. I think we are understanding the things we need to do to be a good team."

"Tonight was a balanced effort, which is a good sign. We played everybody. If we can score 76 points and play everybody then I am happy with that. We don't have egos and we don't have to score. We just need to play hard and play together all the time."

What has been the difference in the four-game winning streak?

"We are rebounding pretty well and defending the ball. More than anything we are gelling. Our sophomores now are the point where we can put five of them out there and they can hold their own and do pretty well. I think we are getting better collectively and our individuals are getting better."

What do you expect on Thursday against Cincinnati?

"I think that's a winnable game for us. I think that we have to defend, but I think that the biggest thing that we have to do is take care of the ball because they are going to pressure us. They are going to trap us and chase us. We have to be composed and take care of the ball."
