When asked to share his thoughts on the victory, Coach Tim Cook stated, "This was a very important game for us today to get back on track.  I want to complement West Coast Baptist on how well they played today and they did an amazing job of spacing the floor and playing together.  It really put together a challenge for us on the defensive end tonight.  We had to really work for a lot of our stuff.  What I was most proud of was our rebounding effort of 46 to 29 on the glass.  I was proud of how we finished the game and coming out with the victory.  Back at it tomorrow night!"
