The Burnt Orange and White are gelling at the right time. Coach weighed in on his team's progress this far.
"Coming off from our down to wire win vs southwest, our boys came out defensively engaged. Unfortunately the long trip played a bit against us in the 1st half offensively, we just couldn't find the our rhythm from the 3 line. In the second half, their pihranna mentality (To be aggressive and attack) came alive and our boys stepped it up. We were down 3 points with 6 seconds to go, we drew up a play on a timeout and Arturo Reyes created an opportunity for Ernesto Reyes who hit a 3 to send us to OT. We were able to close the game out in OT."
