COACHES QUOTE
On overall play of the Dons:
This was another great week for our program. We battled through some adversity and a quirky schedule and came away with a great result. Any time you can compete with the best programs in the country, you can really get a good idea of where you stand. We now know that we are so close to being thought of as one of those programs.
Â
On the play of Chin:
I was extremely proud of Alex. He rebounded from last week like a player well beyond his years. He really carried us this week. His future is so bright and this will just help him believe he can play with anyone.
