Quotable

"We got off to a slow start today with a lot of minor miscues adding up for us. Overall though it was a good week for us. We had not played outside until this tournament and came out really well Monday. Trey played phenomenally and we really could have led by more. Gary played well for us today and Erik had a nice comeback.All in all I saw a lot more positives than negatives.' – Temple head coach Brian Quinn.
