Cedarville also had a 72-game conference streak under Martin, the spokesperson said.
“The winning streaks indicated a commitment by my players to the idea that we are gonna do things right every night,” said Martin. “We kept it simple. We’re gonna outwork you, we’re gonna run, we’re gonna run, we’re gonna take quality shots and we’re gonna rebound the basketball.”
