Quotable: Head Coach Pat Estepp

"Give credit to Trevecca. We had no answer for (Byron) Sanford tonight and then they hit some really big threes when we took the lead.

"We have been defending pretty well, but that was not the case tonight. We did not contain the dribble and then we were late on closeouts to shooters because of helping on direct drives.

"But, probably the biggest struggle was on offense. We settled for too many jumpers when they were making their run to get back into the game.

"We have to get some things figured out on offense. We have to have some key guys step up and start producing consistently on the offensive end and we have to start getting some scoring off the bench.

"Trevecca is a good team with one of the best players in our league, but I would be wrong if I didn't tell you our guys and our staff were pretty frustrated by our second half performance."
