Coach's Corner
Head Coach Chris Taylor said, "Good start to the tournament for us. Our game plan was to come out and put pressure on them with our aggressive play. We were able to do that and establish ourselves on the court. One of our better offensive performances on the year and the work that the team has put in since we got back from our big trip showed."
