- Thankful for the win tonight. Felt the guys came out with energy on the defensive end of the court for the first 27 minutes of the game.
- Complimented Mike Williams' defensive effort tonight. He had six steals.
- Felt they had great pressure on the basketball for most of the game. They communicated well on switches and were able to stay on their shooters until late in the game.
- Thought Daimion Collins had a good week of practice and his length was able to help them defend the three on defense. Said he injured his shoulder late and doesn't have a status update.
- Emphasized that they played well in the first 27 minutes. They feel apart on the defensive side of the ball late.
- Thought they executed better against the zone against Wake Forest. North Florida went to a zone and feels they were able to beat it with Will Baker in the paint.
- Said they loved Mike Williams toughness in his recruiting process and that's translated well on the floor. He's still getting going offensively, but he's been getting better each week.
- Wright says they were trying to switch and be aggressive on the outside on defense. They knew North Florida wanted to shoot 30 threes and they were aggressive trying to stop it.
- Wright called Mike Williams the head of their snake. Says his energy is infectious for the rest of the team on the defensive side of the ball.
- Baker said it was a big emphasis on getting the ball into the paint and he thought they executed well when they moved the ball.
- Baker said he's proud of Daimion Collins' resiliency. He doesn't know how much he's going to play every night, but he makes the most of his minutes.
