Notable Quotes

 
“Before the game, Ben Sternberg was given a warning from the officials. That speaks volumes. It means our bench is a factor.” - Dennis Gates on their bench being a factor in games with their cheering.
 
 
“We did lose to a good team today. We showed some fight today better than we did the other night in many areas, particularly on the offensive end. We just didn’t make shots on a high-enough level, and when I say not make shots I’m talking about in times when we needed to, clutch shots, shots that were under duress.” - Mike Boynton on his team’s loss against Xavier.
