HERENDA ON CORBACIO: "John Corbacio is now a senior and I want him to have the success that he deserves in his senior year. Boch and I came onto this campus at the same time and I have great respect for what he has done for this program on the floor and off. He is 100% healthy this year and he will not only help us on the glass, but he has the ability to stretch out defenses with his 3-point prowess. No one wants John to have more success this year than his head coach - he flat out deserves it."
