Game Quote from Head Coach Boomer Roberts
"We've had a few good days of practice, and I think it showed in different areas today. We moved the ball well and got good looks. We were better defensively and did a good job on the glass. Alou, Obi, and Sangolay were big on the boards combining for 30. Kell continues to show he's a two-way guard, and
Anthony Irvin (Chandler, Ariz./Corona Del Sol) led a team effort to hold their leading scorer to five points."
Up Next
