ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "I thought we did a really good job in the first half. I thought we did the things we wanted to do in the first half, especially offensively. We turned over the basketball way too many times in the second half. We have to get back to practice and work on taking care of the basketball and improve as a team."
