QUOTABLE
Head Coach Bob Boldon:
“I thought we played some pretty good basketball in the second half. Not to say we played bad basketball in the first half, I just don’t think we played as well as we would have liked too in the first half. It was nice to see us come out with a better effort in the second half.”

COMING UP
The Bobcats head to Oxford, Ohio to take on MAC East rival Miami in part one of the Battle of the Bricks on Saturday, Feb. 14. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. and can be seen live on Time Warner Cable and ESPN3.
