POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On today’s game:
This was Stockton’s first four games. They got better with every game. We expected them to really push today and challenge us. You could tell our energy was flat. It’s been eight games in 12 or 13 days. There’s a lot of good positives to take from this trip as a whole. There’s a lot of exciting things to think about in terms of the group that we have and the people we have in the room. It’s just one of those games.

On the eight game road trip:
Looking at the trip as a whole, it’s been very positive. The team has really come together and challenged themselves to execute what they’ve been speaking on. It’s a good start to the season. There’s a lot of encouraging things. We’re excited to continue on Monday and there’s definitely a lot of good intel for us with these players to help them to develop and move forward as a group.
