Quotable: Head Coach Pat Estepp

"Once again, I was really proud of our guys today! We kept our focus and our heads up even though we couldn't buy a three-pointer in the first half.

"J.C. (Faubion) gave us some good minutes, especially in the first half when (Jason) Cuffee got in foul trouble. We defended pretty well, but we just gave them a few too many extra possessions with turnovers.

"I thought we showed toughness in the second half and had some guys who had struggled shooting in the first half step up and knock down big shots in the second half."
