QUOTING HEAD COACH TOD KOWALCZYK:
Miami moves the ball as well as any team I've seen during my 16 years in our conference. They are a really good team. Travis (Steele) has done a tremendous job turning around their program and that helps our league. We can't feel sorry for ourselves and need to bounce back. We had a great crowd tonight, especially without our students in town and I'm disappointed we didn't play with more urgency and toughness in the first half.
