 Stevenson grinds out a 74 71 win and over time the night over Messiah Glen Clark with head coach Gary Stewart coach I don't know that it was the prettiest at all times But it was a workman like effort from your team. How are you guys able to battle back and get this win tonight? We knew it was gonna be a rock fight and it was they're gonna try to temple the game possession by possession Early on they stuck it in the interior and really hurt us We tried to do a couple different things to make some adjustments in the second half We were able to pressure a little bit better from the perimeter and we rotated better But it wasn't smooth But we did what we needed to do to win and in this time of year it's it's survive in advance and we were able to Get this one and then look forward to Saturday Defense really jumped out at me down the stretch and particularly into overtime when you guys needed stops What change that this became really locked down as the game went on well We we got a break when when Matt Wilkowski got his fifth foul and that changes them a little bit and We were able to get to their perimeter guys and they shoot 40% of shots or threes and so they're so capable from so many different spots I thought we closed out well and We we tried to disrupt their temple a little bit and and we had some success with that How important since the last time I saw you got somebody back you got Mikhail Williams back a Couple games ago. How important has it been for him? What has he done for your team having to back out on the floor? Yeah, talking about a revolving door and makes man up I mean we get a guy we lose a guy we get a guy with those a guy you can see how important he is to us Because now you're gonna have to put a secondary defender on one a Clill or him So that changes things a little bit and and now the spacing is a little bit better offensively We just got to execute better But but we're really happy to have him back because he impacts the game in so many different areas You know, he's able to to rebound from this position as goes any gardener league You can get to the basket. He can stretch a defense. He's really really a viable player for us The guy that jumped off the page and made a night was Jalen Jordan, right? Who you know you have your other guys getting attention and he sort of took advantage of that you lose? You know today it shoot around we find out about cam sapienza and and cam Smith And so those are two really really important people for us and and to go into this without those two guys Put some pressure on us, but we had some other guys step up and and obviously at the forefront was Jalen Jordan He he was excellent The layup at it with the shot clock running down was really important basket for us. He played within himself and the one thing that doesn't Really no one will talk about but when they were pressing us He didn't turn the ball over when he inbound the ball and that's so critical in that position Coach congratulations on a big win tonight. Best of luck as you head back out of the road. We'll see you back here next week All right. Thank you. Glenn he's Gary Stewart. I'm Glenn Clark. Go Mustang sports comm
