"We were able to get the win even with us not having our best days. I had a rough dy going against Marone but the coach told me to hold him back in the assists, and I sure did. I think that Gerasimos was good for us today. I also like the way Sol played. We played a tough team and hats off to them for keeping the game entertaining. But we got the win and thats all that matters." "I had to step up big. I did. I played like a real big man today. I was albe to get my rebounds and my points in the paint. It was a good day for me and for my teammates. I hope we have more days like this in the future." stated Sol. "We're a playoff team. We showed why today. Even when our best player is down in the dumps the rest of us pulled through and were able to score and rebound and share the ball. 24 assists today ain't bad at all." said Rufus Cash, who had 6 points and 4 rebounds and a assists coming off the bench. "Great play today by the men. We're now 1st place in the Great 8 with a good lead right now. Lets go for the next win crew." stated coach Steven Wilson. "Ok, our acquisition was great for us today. I wish he had had more playing time, but ok we got the win. Even though Bongiovanni wasn't that much of a factor for us, we got the win through other players. Scarborough was great today. Liontos was good. The bench contributed some. We got the W, thats all we need."
