THOUGHTS FROM COACH GOOD

"As always, I thought in a Newberry game you have to do a good job of containing the basketball and rebounding it, and I thought we did both of those things. On top of that, we did a nice job taking care of the basketball, especially against the press. I thought our veteran guys really made some winning plays down the stretch."
