QUOTABLE
Head Coach Bob Boldon:
“We were okay offensively. We didn’t make shots and that made it look sloppy at times. I through out tempo today was better than it was in the first half at Bowling Green, but we just didn’t score any points. I thought our defense really kept us in the game, we got some stops and got an easy score off of it.â€
