 Steven's and picks up an 87-82 victory over Messiah here tonight Glen Clark with Mustangs head coach Gary Stewart. Coach you and I have talked about a team coming together and needing to learn to win conference games. So game you had a 17-point lead in the first half a 12-point lead at the half but you fell behind in half number two. What has your team learned that allowed them to rally in the second half and get the win? Well I don't know and I mean that in all sincerity because it's the same situation that we were in Merchant Marine when the half with 13-point lead and well and behold you look at the scoreboard and we're trailing in the second half so we got to get that fixed. Obviously Messiah is a good team and sooner or later when you do that you're gonna pay. We were lucky tonight to make some plays down at the end. I was pleased the way we closed the game out. Made some free throws needed every one of them but but we've got to play better. Jaylen Johnson I thought was particularly big in the second half not just the shots he made but he really sort of stuffed the stat sheet for you and what a lift he's given you at multiple times throughout the season. Yeah you love his competitiveness and and we needed it he's assertive he put the ball down on the interior he's feeling pretty good about about shooting as well tonight from the perimeter so he knocked down some some big baskets for us but he's a he's relentless and we kind of follow his lead. You were so hot to start the game particularly from the outside is there any danger in that for a team that they sort of believe everything they're going to take is going to go in something like that? Well I saw the other night that somebody shot 68% for the game so I was trying to stretch that out to 40 minutes unfortunately we didn't get that done tonight but but we like the field goal percent so we're 50% from the field tonight we missed two free throws go 12 or 14 from the line and I think we were like 40 something percent from three so so we'll take that you know we just got a the ball sticking a little bit so we got to get a better ball movement better man movement. How do you take this now with you as a head back out on the road this weekend? Well there comes a time in a man's life now when you are going in the jungle and the bear is there and and you know only one's gonna eat you or the bear so you got to figure it out and and that's our our situation you know obviously like coming six in the country undefeated going into tonight so you know they come out of 3D movie we know who we have and we know they're relentless they're well-coached you know you can use all that adjectives but we got to find a way. Congratulations on win the night best of luck this weekend we'll see you back here next weekend. Thank you. He is coach Gary Stewart I'm Glenn Clark for GoMustAngSports.com
