COMMENTS FROM COACH JASON CRAFTON


"We did what we were supposed to do tonight. We did a good job of rebounding and taking care of the basketball tonight."
 

"We were able to build a lead early on which gave us a chance to get some other guys in the game. I thought our guys did a good job of making the most out of their minutes tonight while giving important rest for some of our starters."
 

"Toby (Nnadozie) came in ready to go tonight. He is always ready to play hard and continues to be consistent with his energy."
 

"As we move forward, I continue to look for more consistency from our team for the full forty minutes."
