“I thought we went out and did what we had to do. There were a lot of mistakes, yet at the same time, I thought we played with purpose. We can always get better, but in games like this here, we landed the plane, the guys did a good job. We shared the ball, 21 assists today … But, I thought four of our guys had, what I would say, one of the better games they’ve had in a uniform. Julius (Halaifonua) played well, Kayvaun (Mulready) played well, (Jayden) Fort played well and Isaiah (Abraham) played well. And that goes to tell you the depth and the player development that these kids have really bought into. So I was really proud of our group.” – Head Coach Ed Cooley
“Prior to the game, I had an opportunity to talk with Vince. He’s in a really good space, good spirits. Told him how much we loved him, how much we missed him, and that we’re praying for him.” – Cooley on Vince Iwuchukwu’s status
“Yeah, obviously, like coming into this game, you know, we lost a big part of the team, so mentally, I had to come into the game aggressive and take care of the ball on both sides of the floor. And yeah, I think I did that a little bit today, but yeah, just looking to improve going into this tournament. And yeah, we’ll see what we got from there.” – Julius Halaifonua
“I just think it’s preparation. Winning programs prepare for games. We prepare every practice. We come in and we compete at a high level. And that’s a thing that I try to bring every day and just compete at the highest level.” – Isaiah Abraham
