An 11-for-13 stretch of 3-pointers

"It was just so surreal," sophomore Brandon Paul said.

It got to the point where Paul, who started in place of Cole and scored 12 points, said he and the rest of the bench had to stop celebrating after each 3-pointer.

"We just kept jumping up and down," Paul said. "Then I said, 'All right, I have to go back in there, so I'm going to preserve my energy.'"
