Coach Jeff Britt was happy the way his team bounced back after the loss to Georgetown. “We are pleased with our effort and desire tonight. Chandler was sensational in the second half and sparked us in scoring. Jon is getting more comfortable in his role. Kam used is size in the paint and played well. I thought our bench gave us some solid minutes. Our board work was also a factor. We will get some rest, let the legs stay strong and get ready for a good Oakland City squad.”
