"I mean it's always good to win your first playoff game and kind of settle into me they were a lot better this year. They were a lot more physical their their guard play was a lot better, the post knocked down some shots for them, and their energy on the boards and stuff was really good, so they made us have to really work for," head coach Brian Pursche said.
