-- Eilert says the first thing that stuck out was 17 assists on the stat sheet where they shared the ball and passed.
-- Eilert credits coach Spiker for having a battle with WVU and a good game plan leading into the game and by coming in to compete with WVU. He says that Spiker most likely enjoyed being back in the Coliseum and coaching on that floor. He says it sure was special and emotional for him to be back in Morgantown and that he respects the fabulous job that he's done at Drexel.
-- He says the big message leading up to this game, to not lose the joy in the game and don’t second-guess themselves. He wanted his shooters let it fly.
-- He says that Akok Akok’s lift in the game was huge today, since he gave the whole team a lift on the defensive end and he had a +15 +/- with only five points. Eilert hopes he’ll have a big week in terms of conditioning so they can get his minutes up. He says that the three-pointer is a strength for Akok. He has no problem with him letting that shot go.
-- Eilert says Kerr Kriisa is an intelligent player and his IQ is really high but he knows the plays and he's been practicing. With Kriisa in the game, they'll have both him and Kobe Johnson to facilitate the offense so having another guy out there will be crucial for them. Eilert feels like adding Kriisa will be a healthy adjustment to their team and he feels like their production will increase with less minutes by adding a new person in the rotation. He says that Johnson has done a good job working on the fly and calling plays on the fly. He feels that Johnson has done an excellent job at point guard, so it'll be huge to have that luxury.
