"I thought we had really good defensive energy last night," said coach Donnie Jackson. "We were flying around and rotating much better than we did Monday against Labette. We really attacked the glass on both ends."
"Deaveon (Bankston) and Justin (Wilson) brought energy off the bench while Avante (Lederer), Tyrel (Morgan), and Demaree (King) all made timely offensive plays. We need Avante to continue to hit the glass like he has been."
We really need to find a way to go to Redlands and get a road conference win," he added. "They are a dangerous offensive team."
