Head Coach Shane Clipfell

Comments on the game ...

"It was a selfless game; that is what it felt like to me as it was unfolding.  What set the tone was in the beginning when we picked up charges early on their drivers.  That is something our team has somewhat been unwilling to do, but today we got in and picked up the calls.  That is what to me set the tone in what I am calling the most selfless game we played to date."

On 23 assists on 30 buckets ...

"When I got the final stat sheet before I talked to the team that is what I looked at.  I was pleased when I saw that number.  The only disappointing thing was that we had 17 turnovers.  Other than that I was happy with the teams' performance today."
