QUOTABLE
Second-year head coach Saul Phillips on team being outrebounded
"What really concerns me is 13 offensive rebounds for them and how many balls that maybe bounded to the corner and were maybe 50-50 balls, which you've got to find a way to get, especially on the road, especially in a game where not a lot is going right for you. Those are the ones you've got to seize, and we didn't do a terrific job of that tonight. I think maybe the battle in the trenches was won by St. Bonaventure."
UP NEXT
The Bobcats are set to play inside Quicken Loans Arena -- home of the reigning NBA Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers -- next Saturday (Dec. 12) in a matchup against in-state rival Cleveland State. The opening tip is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
