COACH'S TAKE
Head Coach Coquese Washington

  • "It was good to get out here and play with folks in the stands and to play in a real game situation. I thought that we got a lot of contributions from everybody. You see we have five people in double figures and a sixth one at nine points. That is one of the things that we really wanted to stress this year was being able to share the ball and get contributions from a lot of people."
  • "It was good for us to be able to play a bunch of different lineups and get our freshmen a lot of playing time. So, all-in-all, I think this was a positive for us. There are certainly some things that we have to work on and get better at, but overall a lot of positives for us."
