Key Quote

Head Coach Mike White: "Good win for us. Mount St. Mary's is playing really good basketball. They've won two in a row on the road, of course, and then three games ago they kept it very respectable at Ole Miss - who is really good obviously. They haven't lost. Played well, adjusted well. They were terrific offensively and really defending better as of late. I think they are going to have a really good season, and we were very fortunate because we could not collect a bunch of stops in this one."
