Hyland earned praise from head coach Michael Malone after the game. Malone thought Hyland helped bring energy and effort off of the bench while he was also pleased with a couple of key plays down the stretch to seal the win. “You have a young player in Bones Hyland who, with the dribble, can get to places on the court. You put him in pick-and-rolls and he can get downhill. What I love about Bones is when he gets into the paint and gets around the basket, he is not forcing tough shots. He is finding guys. He is playing with the poise beyond his years.”
