Game Quote from Head Coach Boomer Roberts:
"Our guys continue to get better. We made a lot of winning plays today, getting to the paint and sharing the ball. Kalil showed what we see regularly in practice, and the unselfishness of Temple and Cam sparked us. Both of them missed double-doubles by one. We've got room to get a lot better, but a 2-0 week on the road is always something to be proud of."
