“I thought our guys bounced back very well from our trip to Miami on Friday,” said Catamounts Head Coach, Larry Hunter. “We really talked a lot about executing better at both ends of the court and I thought that showed up today.”

Junior Guard, Devin Peterson, lead the Catamounts in scoring after ripping down 19 points against the Tigers. Peterson lead the way with his teammates following right behind him.

“Everybody bought in today,” said Peterson. “I felt like we were all on the same page to begin with.”
