THOUGHTS FROM COACH HANCOCK

"What a big road win. We seem to be very evenly matched with Carson-Newman and it was a battle for sure. We got the lead and then they punched back. I was proud that we didn't fold. Jo Snow had a huge game and a huge shot. Overall it was a team win with people stepping up in different ways. I was also proud of our time/score execution at the end of the game. They were aware of the foul count and knew what we wanted to do."
