Words from coach Matt Logie
On his 200th win: "I have been blessed to be surrounded by an amazing group of players and assistant coaches throughout my life. That basketball family is so near and dear to my heart, and all of our accomplishments have been shared together. Those relationships are what this is all about."
On the game: "Today was great for us. We played a full 40 minutes, and everyone was clicking on all cylinders for the first time all year. It was great on both sides of the ball to see our identity come through."
On the performances by May and Mackenzie: "Brock and Jordan were the beneficiaries of some really great teamwork and playmaking. I thought we really moved the ball well that led to wide-open shots for both those guys, which allowed them to get into a rhythm and shoot the way they are capable of."
On Robateau's game: "Darnell had a great weekend, especially on the glass. As a point guard to be able to get the rebounds he does, it really allows us to get out in transition where is terrific at setting the table for guys, as evidenced by his eight assists. He is just scratching the surface of what he is capable of for us, and it was great to see him have an all-around game like that tonight."
