Reaction

Coach John Rillie shared his thoughts after the game.

“The thing we’ve done a great job over the last couple of games is we’ve just competed a lot better from the start to the finish,” he said.

“It’s amazing how then things start to go your way, we got some great players that we can rely on in the clutch but if you don’t get to the clutch, it doesn’t matter.

“We’ve had some game where we haven’t got to the clutch situations, but we’re getting contributors all over the floor and that’s the biggest difference for us, it’s exciting right now but we’ve got a big game on Monday.”

Bryce Cotton finished with a game-high 32 points, 6 assists and 3 steals.
