COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS

It feels great to get back into the winning column. Every conference game is a fight. It wasn't pretty, but we played hard and competed well. Our depth was on full display with us having 50 points off the bench. I firmly believe our depth is our greatest strength and when we play for each other we are tough to handle.
