From the Court

• "We have to continue to grow and learn from our errors for these first stretch of games on our schedule."
• "Tonight, I felt we regressed. We have the pieces, but need to focus on consistent efforts and productivity, which we don't have right now."
• "We will go back to work tomorrow and continue to focus on the defensive end of the floor, because that is what our program is all about and right now, we aren't getting the job done, letting up 70 points tonight and getting outrebounded in the first half."
