#3 You talked about the big size that the Trojans presented on the floor did physicality play a role in the Trojans game plan to pretty much control the game?

#4 Sammie Yeanay 14 points for Nojus Indrusaitis 13 points as Cal top scorers but the Trojans on defense did a fine job stopping Cal from closing the game late in the second half.
