Coach from Coach Goodman
"We competed and guarded pretty well overall, credit to our scout team in getting us ready.  The second chance points and missing critical free throws kept us from making a run at them midway through the second half.  We got better as a team, and saw some good things individually and collectively on both ends of the floor.  Our bench was enthusiastic and engaged.  We are looking forward to honoring two incredible senior leaders {Wright and Becker) on Saturday."
