Center Jesse Edwards and forward Josiah Harris are up on the stand.

-- Edwards says there is a balance between playing aggressive and trying to not make contact. He said he got a couple of stupid fouls and they add up, taking away his minutes for his team. He's frustrated with that and wish he could have done more. He says that when they make it a physical game, they try to get more foul calls by boxing out and crashing the offensive glass. Everything is harder when you're in foul trouble, but if you play it smart you could get out of it.

-- Harris says it hurts to get in foul trouble with less bodies to sub in. Harris says if they hit a majority of those free throws they could win the game, but they need to lock in and make them. Especially when given 43 opportunities.

-- Harris says they need to be aggressive to loose balls and they'll take it into the next games to try and play with a 'dog-like' mentality from here on out. He says they wanted to take what they were given on offense and that's what was present against the Red Storm. Harris understands the work that he has put in for his shot and he hasn't and won't lose his confidence in his shot.

-- Edwards understands that St. John's pressures trying to slow down your offensive sets when getting across half-court. It was something they were prepared for but it's hard to face off against.
