"From the competition side of things, I am really encouraged by my team's effort this weekend," head coach CJ Weber said. "We hosted some very stiff competition, and the guys handled themselves extremely well and we competed our best of the last day, which is always pleasing to see as a coach that we perform our best at the end of events. Marcelo (Tebet) had a great breakthrough event; and his only loss was against one of Memphis's top players. He, and all of the players, have been so open minded to grow and develop and learn new things about themselves. This is a special group of guys; and I'm really looking forward to seeing what this team has in store for the spring season!"

Both teams will wrap up the fall season with the Dick Vitale Invitational in Bradenton, Florida.
