Quotes . . .
Head Coach Steve Pikiell
We added a few more playmakers (Lucas Woodhouse and Ahmad Walker) and they're mature and good teammates. Tre (Carson Puriefoy) has improved his shooting and showed it tonight. We gave up 11 threes to them last year and gave up only two tonight so I'm pleased with that. We're a lot older than last year.

Carson Puriefoy
Having Lucas and Ahmad in the program really help. They have the ability to handle the ball and shoot it so it's almost like have three point guards on the floor. I'm really thankful to have them.

Ahmad Walker
It was great to be back. The environment was great. My teammates allowed me to be aggressive. I've really worked hard on my shot. It's helped my confidence.

Lucas Woodhouse
If I can do every night what I did tonight, I'd be really happy with that. I had a lot of fun out there. We did a good job scoring and everyone had a solid night.
