"We're small, Mike (Walz) couldn't play for a lot of minutes in the second half, that makes us very small, so there's an obvious thing that teams can do after," Mooney said when asked how the game flipped in the second half, particularly on the glass and in the paint — Duquesne outrebounded UR 18-6 in the second half, with 10 offensive boards leading to 17 second-chance points.
"It's physical in there, you have to do your best. When you're outsized, you're going to give up a few of those for sure. But you really need to come up with your fair share of them to be able to milk the game away."
