Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Excited to get back on the court after a layoff from winning the indoor national championships. The boys have been working hard and have been working on some things that we saw during the tournament so we're definitely ready to put our best foot forward tomorrow and look to execute early on. Obviously, playing a school in the same city as us we should take a great deal of pride going into this match."
