Coach's Corner
"Winning a college basketball game is hard. It is is even harder to blow out a college team. Loved that our guys could get this one," Coach
Sean Westerlund said. "I thought Mal (
Jamal Cannady Jr.) was superb. J-Bird (
Jaryn McCann) and Scoob (
Derreck Orr Jr.) were excellent as well. I think when those three have it humming we are tough to stop. Loved the contributions and energy we got from
Noah Riley and
Mike Jones. We focus on our process and keep changing our best."
