Quotable: Head Coach
Pat Estepp"Give D&E credit, they played really well today. We looked flat from the beginning and really just couldn't get much going on offense. Defensively, we were flat footed.
"The last two weeks have been a lot of traveling and our guys have battled hard and played much better. I think we just ran out of gas today.
"It's time for us to regroup and get ready for the conference tournament next week. We have to try to get some guys healthy and get our legs back.
"I know our guys are feeling confident about how they've been playing and that is what you want heading into the tournament."
