Quotes
"This was a great effort by our kids. Newbury played a great game, especially in the first half. We could not pull away. They are really solid offensively and dictated the tempo of the game. In the second half, we made shots we really haven't made all year. A lot of kids got hot and we found a way to get it done. The new guys who checked into the game really did a good job." – Nichols head coach Tom Glynn
 
"We could have been stronger in the first half. We bounced back and played our game in the second half. We got momentum and played Nichols basketball. This is starting to feel more like home for me. Everything is going well. I'm getting used to playing with these guys and everything in practice is beginning to translate over to the game." – Nichols junior Devin Stallings
