WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"(Nico de Groof and Eddie Landin) complement each other very well on the court and even when the score got close they were able to execute their plays. (Chris Kerrigan) has been playing very solid and the biggest thing is that he decided to commit to a game plan we drew up for him a couple of months ago and we are now seeing the effects of it. We have one more day to go and have some finals to play. I am looking forward to finishing this tournament strong."
