Quotable: Head Coach Pat Estepp

"This was a good game for us. I thought we got off to a very good start and then got too careless with the ball and too stagnant on offense.

"But give Wilberforce credit. Terry's (Futrell) team always plays hard and they really hurt us on the boards. I felt we settled for jumpers too much in the first half, but did a better job attacking them in the second half. We were unselfish and efficient on offense ... outside of the turnovers.

"We are going to have to rebound better and take better care of the ball this weekend. I was proud of the way we played the second half. We just need to find a way to be more productive for the first 20 minutes."
