QUOTABLE
“The first couple games are tricky because you don’t have a lot of tape to go on. You really have to rely heavily on your own principles and I thought we did that tonight with our defensive rotation. I thought it was very good. There was a stretch in the middle of the first half where I thought our defense was tremendous and cleaned it up with rebounds. I was obviously very happy with this performance and we’ll try to make some improvements with a quick turn around for Monday.” â€" Head coach Bob Boldon
