Recap |  Box Score

HEAD COACH Brian Gregory

"We did play hard, but we did not play well enough to deserve to win. When you go on the road, you cannot make turnovers like we did in the first half and you have to make your free throws. It's a disappointing loss because while we didn't play well enough to deserve to win, maybe we could have stolen one."

"You've got to give it to our guys. We made a great comeback against a tournament-quality team that came into the game playing as good as anyone in our league on their home court. But we have to learn from this that it takes a little more to win on the road."

"I thought the last three-to-four minutes of the first half were a big key. We committed some turnovers that turned a two-point game into an eight-point game just that quick."

"We couldn't have played much better offensively in the overtime. But they were able to get to the free throw line a lot in OT."

"People saw how good this league is. We're doing what all good leagues do - we're beating the crap out of each other for two months. Every one of the top four seeds at our conference tournament will be capable of winning a game in the NCAA tournament."

"We have to bounce back. No one we are playing is going to feel sorry for us."
