ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "We caused some turnovers which we are going to have to do this year. I thought that we competed throughout. We would do one thing well and then commit two mistakes. This is something that we repeated throughout the game. We couldn't break that 10-point barrier. Tonight, was a learning experience for our team and we have to come back ready to play on Saturday at CBU."
