"I thought our defense was really tough and gritty today. We were able to get stops and turn North Greenville over, which fueled our transition offense. It's really nice to see our team take pride on the defensive end, especially when we weren't shooting well. This has been a tough stretch on the road. I'm proud of how our team has handled it."
