QUOTABLE
Head Coach Bob Boldon:
"They're a good team. They were good. They pounded us on the boards a little bit and they came back and made a run like we expected they would. We didn't want them too, but they did. I think our kids did a tremendous job of responding. We hit some threes, but it came after good ball movement. We didn't just come down and hoist up shots. I thought we executed the offense all around. And when we've played that way thus far this year we've been successful."



COMING UP
The Bobcats conclude the GSU Holiday and Hoops Classic when they take on UMass Saturday, Dec. 20. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. at the GSU Sports Arena.
