Key Stats & Notes
Thoughts from Head Coach Ritchie McKay
"I thought we were really good defensively. I thought when we protected Scottie (James) when he got two fouls and still protected the glass was critical for us. Offensively, we have a group of guys that play for one another, and I thought we did a good job of taking what the defense gave us."
