“Troy played a phenomenal game,” Tom Crean said. “Troy’s had an excellent week. Very locked in and focused. Troy was incredibly committed on the defensive end this week. It’s amazing what happens to your offense. You try to get these guys to understand all the time, when you focus on the defense and the rebounding, making simple plays with the ball, it’s amazing how well you play.
