00:00Congratulations to the Denasal Green Archers for beating the Utamaro 68-60.

00:07The Green Archers are now at 4-1. We have Coach Topex Robinson and Mike Williams.

00:14Coach Topex, congratulations for this victory. It's a big bounce back win.

00:19Although it's a short turnaround from your previous loss, how the boys responded from this?

00:26Again, it's just another challenging opportunity for us.

00:31I told them that we're going to go back to our game.

00:36UE didn't upset us. They really deserved the win.

00:40Sometimes we're taking away the credit from Coach Chaffin and the rest of the team.

00:45They really did their job. There's no such thing. We don't really consider it as an upset.

00:51UE just gave us something that really helped us.

00:56It kind of cleaned up the pressure of not losing.

01:02When you get so used to winning, it's like it's your fault that you lost.

01:08But I guess what it did to us as a team is it grounded us.

01:13It just reminded us that this season for us is going to be hard and even harder.

01:20Just like what happened today with the FPU.

01:23If it doesn't kill us, it's just going to make us stronger.

01:26I guess that's just the story of our season.

01:29Thank you. To Mike, you had 13 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks.

01:35How did you guys respond to the loss and what are you going to do to prevent it from happening again?

01:42Just going off of Coach Topeng's, the Lord gives blessings in all sizes.

01:46For us, even though that was a rough loss to UE, it really gave us an opportunity to test our character.

01:53To test that culture that we've been building for the last couple of months, the last couple of years that Coach Topeng has been here.

01:59We knew this game wasn't going to be easy as well.

02:02Coach Topeng has kind of set the tone in the locker room before the game.

02:05It's going to be a grind-out win.

02:07We're happy. We just really feel good to win.

02:10We still have a lot to work on, but we really needed this just to keep everybody going and get ready for our next big turnaround on Sunday.
