After the game, assistant coach Tyrell Walker was asked his thoughts about be the head coach for part of the second half and how the guys played. His response was, "Honestly, I was telling coach Coleman before, it was good to get those guys a live look, and into the game. They came out, gave us really good energy, and we are gearing up for our first conference game tomorrow. " On his talk about the bench unit, Walker was asked about Keaton's first career double-double, and Brennan leading all scorers. He responded saying, "Shoutout to my boy Keaton, he rocking out of Minnesota. Honestly, it is a beautiful thing because I have been trying to get Keaton onto the court and I wanted to get him out there for defense, but his defense turned to offense. As for Brennan, he coming out of Kentucky. That was his first live minutes, and honestly, he was just amazing. He has been waiting for it, and it was a good example of staying ready."

After securing his first double-double of his young career, Keaton Christianson was asked his thoughts on the double double. He responded praising his team saying, "I think we did alright. We started to come together in the second half, so I thought we played very well as a team overall." He was then asked to touch a little on his individual performance and how he is fitting in as a freshmen. His answer was, "It was a lot harder than high school in the beginning and really trying to adjust and the guys were super nice, and we all came together. The team is a major joy to play with." 

The Panthers will have a short turnover as they look to take on their first conference opponent in Paul Smith's tomorrow 11/12 at Paul Smith's.
