Coach G on the Saint Peter's Game:  "That was a quality team win when we needed it most.  We played great offense, but what excited me most was the way we rebounded the basketball.  I love how the combination of Steph and Earl offensively opens up our entire offense. Those guys open things up for Darian and our big guys.  This team improves every day in practice and today they got what they deserved.  It doesn't get any easier - we now turn around and travel to Princeton and Temple within the next four days.  Our guys are excited about these challenging games and so am I." – Greg Herenda after the win against Saint Peter's
