I thought our guys came out with a lot of energy and did some really good things,”
We’re a paint touch team right now, and that’s our identity,”We want to drive the ball and kick, or we want to throw the ball inside. I love our center position. When you look at the between Ben and Brandon, what they’re what they’re averaging in both rebounds and points, I think we’re doing a really good job. And, our guys are willing passers, so we’re getting better in that area.”
“It’s a game that you can see your team kind of growing in. This is a team that we played that has been to four NCAA Tournaments, have won their conference. This one may not seem as big right now, but it’ll pay off in March.”

I think that’s huge. I think that also kind of just wears teams down,”
When you’re able to go down and just slow down the pace, teams aren’t really able to get out and run off that. (They’re) not able to get long rebounds and get into transition, which really slows it down, and that lets our defense get set.”

I thought it was a great way to respond to a couple tough games this weekend . We weren’t sure what we were going to see, but I thought we played hard and some shots went in . It was good to see in a rough environment where we were 0-2 with two close losses.
