BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"Tough loss tonight. I thought we really competed hard for three quarters. I feel like we are really getting better, but just haven't found a way yet to finish things off. We are getting 30-32 minutes of good basketball and then we have an 8-10 minutes stretch in every game that is the difference right now between winning and losing. We are knocking on the door, but somehow we have to break through. We will keep working and hopefully figure it out in the next couple of weeks. We feel like if we can get in the tournament that we can make some noise. I believe that and I think our kids are starting to believe it as well. If you have followed us closely this year, I think you can see how close we are." --Head Coach Bryan Harvey

NEXT GAME
Coach Bryan Harvey's team will be back in action Wednesday, February 12, at Hollins University. The ODAC game tips off at 7:00 p.m. in Roanoke, Virginia.
