POSTGAME QUOTES
College of Charleston Head Coach Earl Grant
On the game …
"Some of the breakdowns in the first half were uncharacteristic for us. We gave them 12-14 (points). We made some adjustments defensively and we were able to hold them to 23 points in the second half. It was a total team effort. The guys played hard and we just found a way to win."
 
On the team's bench play with Grant Riller in foul trouble …
"I thought the bench did a good job of helping us. They had a couple of big rebounds. Trevon Reddish came in and made a physical rebound. He really defended with his size at 6-foot-4 at the point guard position. I think that bothered them some with the ball-screen D. Osi (Smart) gave us a great lift. He came off the bench, but he is like a sixth starter for us. He did some really good things. Quan McCluney and his minutes were also good."
 
On the play of Brevin Galloway on offense and defense …
"He's been really good with anticipation, getting steals and being active on defense. They turn into offense most of the time. We just told him, 'you are a green-light shooter and you are a big-time shot maker. If you have a good look, you need to take them.' We just encouraged him to take shots when he was open. He made a couple of contested ones and he had some big ones to open the game up."
