COACH'S THOUGHTS
"We lost a tough game on the road to a well-coached and talented Emory & Henry team," said Head Coach
Bryan Harvey. "They used their length and a 1-3-1 Zone to keep us from getting the ball in the paint. I thought we did some good things defensively tonight, but we have got to find ways to score the basketball. We will get back in the gym on Monday and keep working at it until we figure it out. We have another tough game on the road Tuesday night at Lynchburg, part of a strong preseason schedule that will make us a better team in the long run. We just have to trust the process, continue to work hard and the results will come.
NEXT GAME
Harvey's team will play at Lynchburg College Tuesday, Nov. 28. The non-conference game tips off at 7:00 p.m. in Lynchburg, Virginia.
