Spiders guard Jacob Gilyard scored a game-high 22 points with five steals, and teammate Grant Golden added 17 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, as Mooney became the 70th active coach with 300 D-I wins. “I’m really motivated by the believers and investors of this program,” said Mooney. “That’s our players, the parents, the managers, our staff and our administration. There is a lot that goes into each season, sacrifices made to help us have a successful season. It’s the believers over the years that have motivated me and I am proud we have 300 wins.”
