“We played a great game,” Coach Michael Ray Richardson emphasized. “Defensively we played smart. We had a short roster because two of our players were hurt (DeAnthony Bowden and Rodney Buford) and the bench came in and played well. It was a great all around game. Each player contributed to the game and were crucial factors in the result.”NBLCanada.com
“We worked together as a team and things finally started to come together,” said Head Coach Mike Evans. “There are still a lot of things that we need to improve on but it was good to see the guys compete until the final buzzer.”
