DETROIT — It was just a preseason game, but for some Giants it was much more than that. It was a win.
That’s something rookie guard Will Hernandez hasn’t experienced since Nov. 26, 2016. He was on a UTEP team that went 0-8 last season during his senior year.
“It’s been a while,” Hernandez said. “This means the world to me. Just the feeling alone is the reason why we play, so it definitely means a lot. I don’t care if it’s a preseason game. A win’s a win.”
It was also the first win for Pat Shurmur as a head coach since Dec.
