Coaches Quote
"We did some really good things tonight! That's the best team in our conference, and we actually played them even in the second half. Yes, we still lost, but we did some good things-especially in the second half. We didn't shoot well in the first half and that put us behind. But we fought hard and never quit. We need to build on the positives and keep working." – Coach Brad Willems
