"For that guy to do what he did, [to] be able to play center with the week's worth of work – major credit to him," Minter said. "And I bet you the film will probably look pretty good from his regard."
Teammate John Simpson, a guard, also complimented Ioane.
"I thought he did great," Simpson said. "He's a guy that I've been seeing since the beginning of the season who soaks it all up and puts his head down and works. He's one of those guys you can lean on when it comes to situations like this. You can count on him."

"It was pretty solid," Ioane said. "I would say, [there were] a lot of mistakes on my end. I take full responsibility for that. There were a lot of plays where I did not snap the ball at the right time, right cadence, things like that."
