Coach G on the FDU-Florham Game: "We did what we had to do tonight. We separated ourselves early from Florham and did a great job getting the ball to the rim. I loved how we shared the ball and had six guys in double figures but the man of the night was our young big man (
Mike Holloway (Pittsgrove, N.J./Arthur P. Schalick )). Ten-for-ten is crazy in your second college game. If we keep working hard and keep teaching and learning this team will just continue to improve. The sky is the limit for this group - we just have to be patient."
