Head coach Eric Musselman was in a rush to get through his postgame press conference following a double-overtime 77-74 victory over the Stanford Cardinal on Wednesday in the quarterfinal round of the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.
After watching his team shoot a measly 30.3% from the field and 26.3% from three, Musselman couldn't help but applaud his group for getting the job done in other areas like offensive rebounding. The Razorbacks brought down 21 offensive rebounds, which was nine more than Stanford.
"Offensively rebounding, we had some guys crashing," Musselman said. "We felt like they were going to play zone and that zone defense is really vulnerable to offensive rebounding. That was one of the things that we discussed as late as our team meal this afternoon. And I thought the effort on the offensive boards was not great, it was phenomenal.
"Proud of how we played as far as toughness, grind it out. We're still discombobulated and trying to figure out who we are offensively and that's what happens with a changing roster like we have and that's why we've improved in the past."
Houston guard Tramon Mark led all scorers with 25 points, Trevon Brazile added a career-high 17 rebounds, Chandler Lawson blocked five shots and much more.
