COACH'S QUOTE
"We got to play better. It was another game where we struggle to score the ball, rebound, and take care of the ball. Credit to Brown they played really hard. Pressed us the whole game and got on the glass late. We've got to be better and that's on me. We will continue to look at things and try to figure it out." – Head Coach John Becker
