"We've obviously had so many close games and it has just felt like forever we were going to break out at some point," Coach Fulks said. "So to have it happen and have it happen on the road, we want to build some momentum going into the tournament because we know we can score the ball and know we can get stops. As we just keep getting better and getting more people involved, the better we are going to be."
