SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) The seamless play of Notre Dame big men John Mooney and Juwan Durham together on the basketball court extended right into a postgame interview together.

"He took a page out of my book," Mooney said in mock braggadocio of his teammate when asked about the 6-foot-11 Durham's smooth and head-turning Euro-style drive to the basket during ND's convincing 79-50 victory over Howard on Tuesday night.

"No, no. He's a great player, and he can handle the ball and does a lot of things," Mooney continued. "That was pretty sweet with the Euro."
