During the postgame press conference, Miller broke down the Bearcats blowout win and explained why the offense found success per Cincinnati Athletics.

Fredrick finished with 11 points and two rebounds on 3/5 shooting from 3-point territory, all of which came during the opening stretch of the second half.

"“The run in the second half was fun. It’s good to see our defense fuel our running game and sustain it for the first time. It will take us some time to assimilate Aziz into the offense but his presence was noticeable and it impacted the game tonight. It was also good to see CJ make some plays in the second half to get us going. They did things in the first half to stagnate us and we handled it. Then all of a sudden, the lid came off the basket and we made our shots.”"
