Head Coach Dylan Murphy:
"Obviously happy we won. Feels like we didn't play our best basketball. Slow start and low energy. We had a good third quarter, we finally defended in the third quarter. In the fourth, we were unable able to get stops. Mac [McClung] obviously had a good night and carried us. We said at this time of year, especially one-and-done, it doesn't matter if you're playing well or playing poorly. When it comes down to it, you have to find a way to win. That's what we did. It wasn't a good game for us, we're going to have to clean up a lot on film, but we found a way. That's what this time of year is about."
