Leigh sophomore Mason Whitmore also agreed saying, “We knew going into this game we had to show up and play at our best because they weren’t just gonna lay down for us. We were the better team but still had to play to our best potential. They hit some big shots in the first quarter, and we were only able to take the lead by 3 points. Second half came, and we found our groove and beat them. All in all, we played well as a team.”
