From The Sideline
"This was obviously a dominating performance for our guys, and I was pleased that we dominated where it was important to us - on the defensive end. Noticing Stella's incredible size, we knew that it would be important to defend the paint and rebound as a team and we did just that. We also wanted to play extremely fast to make them move and we did that very well. As a matter of fact, our Speed Game was one of the real bright spots for our team this trip. I know that our fans are going to love the pace we're playing with! I wish we could have played the fourth quarter, but unfortunately the humidity started making the court unplayable. Getting all of our guys home safe from injury became the priority. Overall this has been a good trip for our young team, especially all of our rookies who got their first tast of The Viking Way."

"I would again like to thank all of the people who contributed to this trip, starting with our supporters who contributed funding, to our administration who committed to making it happen. This has been an experience of a lifetime for our student-athletes! It will also prove to be an important part of our program's development toward becoming a Championship Program." - Head Coach Dennis Felton
