Coach's Corner
- "Proud of our guys getting our third road win on the season. With Will Little out, we had guys step up. Jalen Jackson was a monster in the glass. Jalen Cary made some big shots. I thought James Dyson gave spark plug minutes. Credit to Kir and Trell for leading our offensive attack. We have some more work to do on the defensive end, but proud the guys went and got the best start in program history." - Head Coach Sean Westerlund.Â
