Throughout his postgame news conference, a dejected McMillan was careful not to lay blame on the officials. "I thought Nic attacked the basket well," Self said."He's a much better athlete than what a lot of people think. He attacked it strong, just like he should." Samford was pesky for most of the game, utilizing a full-court press on makes and misses that McMillan has made the identity of his team. It led to seven steals, which turned into 15 points off turnovers.
