On the game
"Our guys really showed some grit tonight. I was really proud of how they stepped up individually and corporately. Every time we got on a run Morehouse clawed back in. I thought the guys executed pretty well defensively on the Stewart twins, who are such good players. Beril [Kabamba] really got on the boards tonight. Steven [Lyles] and Tana [Kopa] hit some big shots in the second half."
