what they said
- Head Coach Kevin McGuff: “I spoke to them at halftime and said. [UAlbany] We are more committed to doing good attacks than we are to committing to anything. Unless that changes, the game will never be what we want it to be. In the second half, the press came out full of energy.I think it was really rough [UAlbany] and wore them. On the half court, I was able to get through screens better, be more active and rebound better. All these things. ”
- Freshman forward Coty McMahon: “When I first came here and started playing, I was just attacking and going. You can see and kick it. I feel like I stepped it up in my game tonight and showed it on the floor.”
