QUOTABLE
Head coach Terry Fowler:
"I thought we got to a really good start in the first quarter. Our last two ballgames, we had great first quarters and then in the second quarter we kind of faded and gave up 22 points and only scored 10. We challenged our team at halftime to have a good third quarter, and I thought we did that. We came out and competed. In the fourth quarter we weren't able to get some shots to fall and they were able to convert and make baskets. They were able to score 20 points off our 19 turnovers, and I thought that was the big difference. From a statistical point of view, it's the best game we shot from the field in a while, they just were able to make plays and shots when they needed to, to hold us at bay."
