HEAR FROM HEAD COACH DAVE DIIANNI
“We talked a lot about being professionals and being mature. You have to do the job and take every opponent serious and give them the amount of respect they deserve. I thought we were a little slow starting at the beginning of the game, from then on, for 80 minutes, I thought we played really well. We played 12 players off the bench, and they played well. For me, that was the biggest part of the game is that we had players coming off the bench that were keeping the standards and expectations high.”
