Quote
"I was proud of our team effort from start to finish. It was probably our most complete effort on both sides of the floor this season. A bunch of guys contributed and stuffed the stat sheet. We challenged them defensively and got after it, which I was glad to see." –Nichols head coach Brandon Lindon
