ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "We were much better coming out of halftime and we made a run to get back into it. But there were times that we need to make something happen and it just didn't go. Credit to UCSB, they made some big shots down the stretch that they weren't making in the first half and resulted in the score that it did."
