After the game, Bearcats coach Rickey McCullough praised his team for their unselfish play.

“It was a good team effort,” he said. “Everybody got a chance to play. We knew Kendrick Daniels was an outstanding player and would get his points. When we tried to double team him, he would still make some moves and get open.”
