Quotable: Head Coach
Brett Faro
"Today was a back-and-forth battle with two quality teams. I thought a draw was probably a fair result given the circumstances and the flow of the game.
"There were certainly things we were pleased with and other aspects that we struggled with at times in the game. We really stepped up in the second half and overtime to put them under a lot of pressure. OVU is a good team and we will certainly take some things from this game and learn from them.
"We are still looking to put together a full 90 minutes at the level we are capable of. We've seen glimpses, but it's going to take quality for 90 minutes to get results in the G-MAC Tournament and that's what we will be working toward this week."
