On the game
"The guys showed some real character in coming back to win this game. We faced some real adversity from the start and the guys weathered some storms.  I was proud of the tenacity and grit that our guys showed.  Timothy Reilly keeps getting better and our usual crew of Beril [Kabamba] and Tana [Kopa] and Steven [Lyles] continue to deliver. Bo [Barber] gave us some really valuable minutes today when Eli [Lenihan] got in foul trouble.  It was a good team win!"
