Pat Estepp"Give them credit. Greg's (Zimmerman) team is predominantly the most well-prepared in our league and we've got some good coaches, but nobody outcoaches him. I got outcoached today and it was a clinic.
"We couldn't get anything going. We missed I don't know how many layups. Some of it is the physicality of it. Their big and their physical.
"We didn't turn it over and we forced them into 16 turnovers, but other than that, we didn't win another stat.
"We've been defending pretty well, but we didn't tonight especially in the second half. They just got whatever they wanted.
"There were some times when the press was effective and we did take care of the ball. We have to keep those things going as we attempt to get some shots."
