Quotes . . .
Steve Pikiell
I liked our mindset, and with one day to prepare, I thought we did a pretty good job. I was really pleased with everyone being keyed in to make the extra pass. Our three-point attempts were open looks and that's why our percentage was so high.

Jameel Warney
We have a lot of talented guys. They do the hard part making shots after my passes. Maine's a high-scoring team so we didn't want to play a pick-up game. We wanted to play our style. We slowed it down and were able to play our game.

Carson Puriefoy
We've had the same mindset every game, which is to defend and the offense will take care of itself. I always try to be aggressive, whether it's to score and drive the lane and kick. I try to pick and choose my spots. Today, there was opportunities to make shots.
