If I know Bru, he'll come back tomorrow and have a big emphasis on the boards.

I challenged Bru as much as I have ever challenged him at halftime. A first team all-league choice doesn't come in at the half with no rebounds and no field goals. He responded.

He's looked like that the last two days in practice.
