ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "Hats off to Santa Clara, they made plays and they made shots. On our end, there were repeated breakdowns. You can't compete against anyone if you do not take care of the things you are supposed to control. At the end of the day, there were a lot of self-inflicted mistakes."
