Recap| Final Stats| Notes

Head Coach Stan Joplin:

"Our turnovers really hurt us today, especially the unforced ones. We knew that was going to happen some because of their pressure and I don't think our players handled it very well. Our inexperience showed up to say the least."

"I thought we were our own worst enemy and we have to do a better job taking care of the basketball. This is the only team on our schedule that plays like this and they were able to get us out of our comfort zone. I think we had to be more disciplined and have a little more mental toughness. I think this game will help us learn that."

"Marques Green is really good and makes them go. He reminds a lot of Earl Boykins. I was real impressed by him. He makes everyone else a lot better. We were really concerned about him and he doesn't really have any weaknesses."
