Post-Game Quote from Head Coach Boomer Roberts:
"Our edge tonight was different. Credit to the guys for continuing to battle despite things not going our way. We knew how physical Davenport plays, and we challenged our guys to step up on the glass. Dalt and Danny led the way with their effort. Our lead guards played fantastic, especially in the first half. When CA and J combine for 12 boards and 11 assists, we're  tough to beat. I also thought Will and Jules gave great minutes off the bench."
