Head coach Dave Loos Quotes:

"I thought we played pretty well the first half. They had significantly more fast-break points than us because we keep turning the ball over. Our turnovers led directly to baskets - easy baskets. Second half, it was the same thing. We had a three-point lead, but we turn it over and it turns into baskets. The point is, we're really not giving ourselves a chance to win. The effort was great, but we're not giving ourselves a chance."

"I thought we played pretty well in the zone. When we had to pick them up man-to-man, there were some holes there. We gave them some easy shots in the man. We were making them earn their shots in the zone. I thought that was the best way to play them."

"Kevin Murphy and Jud Dillard were a terrific one-two punch. Murphy can hurt you from three or off the dribble. Dilliard is a freaky guy around theHe basket. He's really pretty good."
