POST GAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH CASEY STITZEL
• Overall thoughts on the team's play: "I thought we played pretty well in the first half and really well in the second half, we shared the ball, played good defensively and rebounded better. Any time we can get multiple guys in double-digits we play well."

• On the bench play tonight: "It was a great game because everyone that played added something. I think our young guys played very well and as we move forward, especially in a covid year, we're going to need them at some point. Being able to expand out bench is just going to keep out starters fresh during games here in the second half."

• On the play of James Sullivan this week: He's played with so much confidence these last two games. I think in the first semester he just put a little too much pressure on himself and now he's playing with so much freedom. He's such a force offensively and obviously you know what he brings the the table defensively. He's a great kid, great players, and he's done a great job leading our group.
