"Payne shot pretty well, Considering this was his first NCAA Championship," said head coach Web Wright. "He has really come a long way since walking on to the team three years ago."
"I think this has lit a spark that will definitely carry over to the rest of the team. Payne is a natural leader and will inspire the team to greater things this year. He told me getting the team into the championship next year will be his goal. I intend to hold both of us to that."
