Murray after the game spoke on how the team had to mature as a unit starting with him, he said, “Like I was preaching after the game, we’ve got to grow up, starting with me,” Murray said. “Just what we’re playing for, these types of games show we’re not playing to win and get to the playoffs and try to make noise. We’ve got to stop being comfortable. We almost lost the game.”
