"We got a lot of people playing time. It's a good challenging environment for us to come into a great facility and play a good team. Those are the things that we can take from this; if we can grow from this, it will benefit us down the line when we get into our conference play for sure." –
On positives to take away from this game.
"I felt at times we didn't compete to what we're capable of competing at. And that's the thing we talked about after the game, you know we have to answer the bell and compete. At times we didn't do that and
that's what we got to focus on moving forward." –
